Field Trip Frenzy!

Jude had his first field trip to Simmons farm for school the other day and it was so much fun! The weather was amazing there was a little breeze but the sun was shining and all the kids were in a great mood. I was not originally going to go but when I got there to drop Jude off all the moms and teachers convinced me to go and I am glad they did. We took a hay ride down to the pumpkin patch were the kids got to pick a pumpkin and find Indian corn, there was also a potato sack slide and hay mazes and all kinds of fun stuff. After we did all the fun stuff we took a hay ride back and had an apple snack and headed home! It was such a nice day!!

Zoo Boo

It's that time of year again for Zoo Boo! It is one of our traditions that we started with Jude! It is a really nice day the kids dress up - except this year it was too cold, and they trick or treat around the zoo! It is so fun all the animals get pumpkins for treats and they are more active than in the summer. Jude is not that interested in the trick or treat but the animals! His favorites this year were the jelly fish and the bats! He also liked the story time with a local news anchor and the haunted house! He had such a great time and it was fun for G-ma and me too! Also I have to note that the zoo did a great job this year the treats - fresh pears from radio Disney and tooth brushes from UPMC and lots of pencils! I would rather Jude get healthy snacks than candy! There were vendors that had candy but for the most part they tried to be healthier!

Wedding Time!

Congrats Emily and Ryan!!

This weekend has already been full of wedding fun! Wednesday I went to a pre wedding get together and then the actual wedding on Friday! It was a very nice day and everyone looked beautiful!! My friend Emily is so lucky to have Ryan who loves her so much!! I enjoyed watching him look at her and see the love he has for her all over his face! What a nice day!

Candy Apple Time!

Jude and I had one of those days!! You know the days where everything goes wrong!! So to beat the blues we went to visit Gramps and have lunch at our reserved table in the dining area--Gramps called and reserved it for us!! Then we went to the farmers market and Jude had his first Candy Apple!! It was an experience! He was a huge mess - but he loved it! The off to the park and ice cream, all in all a great way to end a crappy day!
