Loving Fall!

Last weekend Nate's parents came in town to watch his sister Emily run a marathon. 

It was a great weekend cheering for Emily, going out to eat and visiting with family! 

 We woke up early on Saturday morning to go stake out a few places to cheer for Emily.
Scotty loves his Grandparents!

 Waiting for Aunt Em. She did so great and ran the whole way! 

 She even had enough energy to take this awesome shot around mile 18!

 Proud parents!

  Yay for Emily! We are so proud too!

While Nate's parents were here they took us to Costco to get some groceries. Spoiled? I think so! 
They are so generous. 

We also went swimming at their hotel and watched the debates with them.

It was so fun to have them in town! We are excited to see everyone again at Christmas time.

Last week we also took Scotty to pumpkinland! He loved it. I love fall-like things like pumpkin patches.
October really is the best month!

We went with some of my friends and their kids. 

Scott is often to busy to stop and take pictures these days. So I will take what I can get!

He loves farm animals. He kept saying "HI!!" to them like he fully expected a response. 

Bunnies!

Chickens!

Exploring! Scott kept saying "wow!" to everything he saw.

On another note, we recently discovered that I can bring my own gluten-free Udi's bun to places like 5 guys and then we can all eat there! I'm sure this was good news to the boy LOVES french fries. 

 We also went to the fall farmer's market a couple of times at the Riverwoods.
Last time we went we bought Scotty this soft alpaca sweater. I think it is the cutest.

 This weekend we went to the Hale Center Theater to see South Pacific.
The show was fabulous as always!
Nate's brother Mike babysat and Scott didn't even care that we left. 

Scott thinks his Uncle Mike is the coolest, because he thinks of fun things like building towers out of paper towels. So fun right?

 Yesterday we went over and took some pictures in an apple orchard. I wanted to get some pictures before winter comes and all the leaves are gone. Here are some of my favorite shots! 

We are so excited for Halloween! A few days ago I made my favorite caramel corn to get in the spirit. This week we have a playgroup party and treat-or-treating with Scott on the itinerary. I also have raiding Scott's post-trick-or-treating candy collection on my itinerary.
Oh the joys of parenthood!

Happy Halloween everyone!
