Fall Family Fun

Today may be a rainy, cloudy Sunday, but we had a great week of beautiful, hot weather and lots of family fun! Jack had his first real haircut, and his new 'do makes him look older, and if possible, even more handsome:) On Saturday we visited an apple orchard in Indiana. It was an awesome place, with plenty to eat, see, and do - and we'll definitely go back next year! Today we ran a "strollers first" 5K, sponsored by a Chicago parenting organization. We did the race last year, too, and it was a lot colder and much windier, so I guess we shouldn't complain that today was only rainy. It was fun, nonetheless, and the kids were troopers! Finally, we recently purchased a nicer, faster camera to capture our active children, and got a lot of use out of it this week. I had a hard time narrowing down the photos, so enjoy them all!

He kept turning his head from side to side.

And suddenly he isn't having fun anymore.

So handsome!

A perfect day for an apple orchard.

Visiting the Three Little Pigs (check out their houses).

Ella really liked the cows.

She even talked to them, "Hi, Cow!"

Lost in the hay maze.

Apple picking.

It was a wet run, but we did it!

A couple of throwback photos from Ella's first apple orchard experience, two years ago.

Wow, how she's grown!
