Finally Fall!

It's been quite the indian summer this year. We've been in the high 80's still and I'm all decorated for fall and Halloween. On Thursday Lydia had a field trip to Hew Haw Farms. It was way too hot, but I put them in their Halloween shirts anyway. First we saw the animals. Both of my girls love critters, so this was a treat. This is a hen the kids all got to pet.

Lydia and Ali climbed up the hay bales to slide down this 2 story slide. You can barely see Ali trying to go back down, but Lydia was brave and went down!!

We also went an a hay ride. The girls thought it was fun and Ali sang "Rinding the Range" (from Backyardigans) through the farm. I didn't think about sunscreen in October, so we all got a little sunburned. Oh well.

Friday Tim's sister and neice from Portland came to visit for conference weekend. She must have brought the Oregon weather with her because the fall weather finally showed up!! We had a great weekend playing with them and all the local cousins as well.

This is Riley being a horse for Ali (and yes, she started singing "Riding the Range" again). We had a great week and we are happy to finally see the fall weather. Tim even turned on the heat for a little while this morning.:)
