Ready to go!
Racing ducks and checking out the bunny houses. 
Enjoying the slides (kids and adults alike)!
And just for fun - here's this year's "pumpkin patch" picture along with last year's. The kids have grown so much - and pretty soon (11-11-11) another cousin will be added to the mix! As you can see, we still have to master the skill of looking at the camera!
October 2011
October 2010This last weekend, we (Pat and Roger, Hodens, and us) spent Saturday/Sunday morning in Des Moines for Brian's cousin's wedding. The kids enjoyed some extra-special time in the pool with Brian and Chris while Pat, Roger, Beth, and I went to the wedding. The kids held up great considering they barely napped and even got busy on the dance-floor as soon as dinner was over. "Well," of course, does include the 15 minute tantrum Livy threw because of not wanting to wear her "fancy clothes" which resulted in me forcing her into her clothing and dragging her through the entire complex screaming. Thankfully, Livy returned to her normal self quickly enough and enjoyed practicing her spin movies and her "chicken-flap" as I like to call it on the dance floor. We got some pretty cute pictures of the kiddos in the photo-booth too. This morning we hit up the pool again, but the kids were absolutely exhausted and had had enough after an hour. Our ride home was relatively peaceful, although neither Liv or Grace slept enough. I don't have any pictures of the weekend (although Beth does - check out http://hodenblog.blogspot.com), but I did snap this picture of Grace taken at 5:30pm (she never really did get up after this besides to put her jammies on and drink some milk).
Needless to say, the kids had a great time and were totally exhausted.
Thanks for posting those pictures at the pumpkin patch! Such a fun time. I love looking back at them last year. We'll definitely have to do it again each year!
