Fall Fun!

I'll just say that Groupons are Great! Mom and Dad found a Groupon for the kids to visit the DeWitt Ranch for some Down Home Fall Fun! One of the first things the kids ran to was the mini horseback rides. They loaded kiddos up on ponies and rode around a little track--so cute! Kaley, Dad and Bradley went on BIG horses for a 30 minute ride. I think Bradley's only complaint was that it could have been a longer ride.



They also rode tractors and roped and lassoed things to their hearts content, bringing out the inner cowboy and cowgirl in each of them.


I toted Baby Brett around in our nifty babypack which proved to be an excellent back and abdominal muscle workout! He's a very sturdy little boy!


We piled into a covered wagon to go to their pumpkin patch where the kids got to pick a pumpkin. On the way there, the driver let Blake drive the horses--scary! On the way back all the kids got a turn. It's a wonder we made it back alive! Here I am with my little pumpkin, looking at a little pumpkin-Ha Ha Ha!


Yeah, this is about right if it had been back in Pioneer Days. Some people happy, some not so happy and of course all of that would change 2 minutes after this picture was taken. But it was a lot of fun to be down on the farm for a while and enjoy a simpler way of entertaining the kids!

Rice Cereal Vs. Ice Cream

You can probably guess how the score of this game is going to turn out. The first feeding of rice cereal for all the boys has been fun to watch unfold. I was pretty much a one man show trying to feed Brett, take pictures and not spill the cereal all over. As is so his personality, he was very patient through the process and willing to endure the unfamiliar taste and texture I was forcing down.


He's definitely thinking about giving it a second taste.


Nope. Second taste not so good.


Do we really have to have a third bite?


Patience is beginning to wear thin.


Contrast that to this picture of Dad giving Madi her first taste of ice cream. Brett (who knows the goodness that comes from a spoon on Grandpa's lap) waits anxiously for his turn!
