Fall!!!

We finally got to enjoy fall!!!  Between Daddy's crazy schedule, James' school and therapies, Mom's new work schedule, and trying to get some sleep we haven't been able to do a whole lot.  But, we were able to enjoy a day at the pumpkin patch with the VA family.  It was super fun, the kids had a blast, and we were able to stay for quite a while!

James LOVED the slides.  He went down with me a couple times, raced Grand mom, and then Granddad.  Afterwards, however, he only wanted Aunt Allison's roommate, Kateri, to take him on the slide.  They had an awesome time:

Grandmom took James down the slide while everyone else got their faces painted.  James crawled through this long, dark tunnel to get to the slide.

Look at how much he loved it!

Super-dad took care of BOTH kids at once.  Rita loved her carrier, which was a first, and slept for a long time on Daddy's back.

We knew James wouldn't want to get his face painted, even if everyone else did, so we got him his first balloon animal (a frog) and he loved it!

We went on a"hay" ride with Grandmom and Granddad and all the aunts and uncle.  James' isn't a huge fan of the hay ride, but Rita really enjoyed it.  She likes bumpy rides.

Rita LOVED the mechanical horse.  James wasn't a fan.

By this point James was falling asleep...

Meanwhile, Rita was still having a blast.

But soon James was ready to make funny faces again.

Rita had never seen a pumpkin before.  Oh! Pumpkin!
