Hop aboard our train

This Halloween, Chrissy had an interesting idea of making train costumes. Each boy had his own car: Gavin, the blue engine, Liam, a green box car, and Casey, the red caboose. Essentially it's another version of the cardboard box costume. Maybe this getup was a little too much for these conductors. They'd rather play with trains than be one. We managed to catch one picture with all of them in their train outfit. Choo choo choo!

Pumpkin Picking

For the third consecutive year, our family successfully picked a pumpkin. The proof is in the pictures.

Tractors, trains, slides, and big wheels...

Casey, Gavin, and Liam exercised their energy this season climbing into, onto, and out of all sorts of things. Sliding, swinging, and pretending to drive have also kept them busy this fall. Here's a collection of pictures from our adventures.

Fall Activities

The balancing green

This fall, we joined Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. It's a great place for the boys to run around in inclement weather yet still maintain a feeling of being outside in a lush garden wonderland. Chrissy and Brian also really enjoy it too. We seem to be collecting memberships like the zoo, children's museum, aviary, but this one seems to be the most "adult" of all the places. We're lucky the boys like it so much!

Fall Farm Fun

This October, Casey, Gavin, and Liam were excited to visit two farms. We actually have a CSA membership to the first farm we went to, so it was great to see where all those mysterious vegetables and berries came from! Everyone also appreciated the chance to see baby chicks, a couple of cows, pigs, and goats. At the second farm, the goats were very friendly to all of us, especially our clothes! Nibble, nibble!
