So today it really seemed like Fall. First, it was actually kind of chilly outside! (Although it is supposed to warm up again next week) We went to Eckert's Farm...which is only a few minutes from the base. It was ward playgroup with about 5 other moms, so Cooper was so excited to be with "friends!". We rode out to the orchards, and got to pick some really yummy apples. Andrew is less excited about the apples, since he got BRACES today! More about that later. But, he is expecting me to attempt his mom's apple pie...again. Anyway, Cooper was really into it...finding the best apples. Gunner had way too much fun picking all the apples up off the ground and throwing them like "baseballs!".
Everything was decorated so cute, and Cooper got way excited about the possibility of Halloween being around the corner. He loved posing at all the picture props saying, "Look mom, get a picture of me by this one!" Then he wants to see the picture immediately on the camera.
Then it was off to the "Fun Corral" where there is tons of FREE things to do. They had trikes, animals to feed and pet (Gunner loves animals...but they all bark), a sandbox, haybox, and even a 9-hole mini golf course (the boys' favorite). Cooper got a hole-in-one on one hole and was so excited. He likes to play golf on the Wii video game at home, so he kept asking me, "Mom, did I get par? Mom, I got a birdie!" Golf is not my strongpoint, so I just nod and wave. :) 
The fun had to end though, and Cooper actually cooperated when it was time to go! It's a miracle! He even helped me get his brother to the car. Priceless!

Your pictures make me want to go apple picking! How fun! Hope you guys are doing well, looks like you're having lots of fun! Poor Andrew, getting braces as an adult is no fun (I was in college when I got mine) but somehow I still managed to trick Bren into marrying me, at least he doesn't have to worry about that right?!
Cute collage. You have such cute kids.
Looks like there is a to of fun things to do there. Hey to answer your questions the Dells are about 2 hours from us I heard they are way, Jason doesn't get much time off and when he does he is going to be interviewing. Chicago only 4 hrs we should meet up there sometime and get Michelle and go shoppin and to lunch. It is so good to see how you are doing!
Those apple picking picture are so cute. Fall is the funnest time of year for apple picking, pumpkin patches, corn mazes. I love all that stuff and so do the kids. And, we'd love to have you any time if you want to visit Chi-town!
We are going to go apple picking soon too! I just LOVE it! I wish Gunner and Brooks could do it together because I know Brooks will say "baseball" the whole time too! I am so glad you found such a fun place in your new corner of the world!
P.S. the last picture is priceless!!
It looks like you all have so much fun. You are totally inspiring me to doing something more creative with my kids. I'm sure Olivia would rather go to to an orchard than Target yet again!
Cute pictures. The boys look like such cute buddies.
Ah, I'm going to find an apple farm and make plans for this weekend. Looks like fun. I bet my boys will love it too!
Brady is going to the music settlement...and we're doing a co-op for carson with the lees, kofords, stelters and a new family (the schulers). Isn't blogging fun? It's so fun to see what you're up to (and I can't believe how big gunner is getting!) talk to you soon!

This picture is so precious! I can't believe how big they are!
These pictures are darling and I love the apple picking. This is the small stuff that life is about and I love fall time for all these reasons! I wish we had a bit more seasons here in AZ but at least I can look at other's blogs and get the feeling of the season. Great to hear from you!
