A fun fall weekend!







We spent Saturday afternoon at MU's annual South Farm fall celebration with Lori and her family. Kieran had so much fun running free in the fields, choosing a pumpkin, playing various games, racing in the straw-bale maze, riding in the wagon and petting the animals. I think his favorite part though, was getting lots of love and attention from Lori, Jessie, Livy and Reece ;) He's such a lover!
"Giddy up daddy!"

The kids were really interested in the big hot-air balloon- we didn't take a ride but it was fun to watch.

We got to see working dogs herd sheep and ducks through an obstacle course- very cool... Kieran was cheering for the ducks ;)

Kieran loves Livy (and Reece too ;)

"Helping" Reece through the straw maze.

Petting the sheep with Jessie and Reece- the sheep were smart and stuck to the very center of their pen- all those darned, grabby kids!

A moment that would make Papa Rother very proud ;)

Mostly though he just picked the balls up and ran around with them ;)

Rounding the bases- we didn't actually play ball, Kieran just loved "racing" around the field ;)
After a busy few hours at South Farm, we all had pizza together- the kids were starving by this time as it was nearly two! They tided themselves over with crackers and cheese bread until the main course showed up and then they chowed down! After they ate, the played under the tables and took turns putting pennies in a "claw machine"- thankfully none of them knew that with the right type of coins, the machine actually did something other than spit the change back out! After all that excitement and food, Kieran was zonked! He fell asleep in the car on the way home and then passed back out on the sofa for an hour or so- that was one tired little boy!


Such sweet little feet...
Sunday was cleaning day so mom stayed home while the boys went to the park to enjoy the lovely and cool fall weather.


Kieran is so in to scary things and recently discovered Casper the Friendly Ghost at my folk's house- he loves this new t-shirt- it's "Spooooky!"


Kieran is not shy and loves making new friends- today at the park he joined in with these kids- luckily they didn't seem to mind ;)

Playing ghost in a big tire

So spooky!
