PuMpKiN fArM fIeLd TrIp!!!









Ethan's 1st field trip was to the Elegant Farmer in East Troy... Despite the cold and rainy weather, we had a lot of fun!!! A hay ride through the apple orchard to the pumpkin patch... a walk up a muddy hill to the biggest and best pumpkins... a fall in the mud for Caleb... and lunch in a greenhouse sums up our morning!!! Ethan's favorite part of the trip was the ride on the school bus!!!









SCHOOL DAYS!!!

1st REAL day of school!!!


1st day at school, only a 45 minute session with mom present...

a day at the beach...

a few weeks ago we went up north with the Weed family... we had a wonderful time... the weather was overall good, except for 1 morning of a little rain... we love going up there... there is just something so relaxing about being at the cabin... the kids of course had a blast... they are all pretty obsessed with riding the ATVs... Ethan and Caleb both fell asleep while riding!!! SO funny!!! the kids also enjoyed spending a lot of time in their "fort" in the woods... looking forward to our next trip to the cabin!!!
