Fall Carnival

On Saturday, we headed over to Jeff's Grandma's retirement home to go to their Fall Carnival! They had all sorts of fun things for the kids & all of the proceeds went to The Lord's Diner.
The first thing Lily wanted to do was take a picture with Buzz Lightyear!

Then we headed off in search of Great Grandma. We found her in the cake walk room. The kids quickly got on a number to try to win a cake:

Jeff & his Grandma:

The kids didn't win a cake, but we got to talk to grandma. =) Then we went off to ride the ponies!

They LOVED this!! They thought it was so much fun!

After the ponies, the kids ran over to the giant inflatable slide:

Since it was freezing outside, it didn't take much to talk the kids into going back inside. The first place they headed to was the balloon animals & face painting:

After that was rubber band guns!

After we had our fill of rubber band guns, we headed back to the cake walk again. We still did not win a cake, but that's OK, we had a lot of fun trying.
Thanks Dot for inviting us, the kids had a great time!

Apple Picking

On Saturday, we went apple picking! We have never gone to pick apples. We went to an orchard we have never been before too; Steffen Orchard in Conway Springs. It is our new favorite orchard! The kids had a lot of fun picking, eating, and just running around the orchard!

We got a whole box full of apples (a little over 18 pounds) for about $13.00. The apples were 69 cents a pound!! They were yummy too! We also bought a gallon of homemade apple cider for only $5.00! The kids really liked it!

On Sunday, I made an apple pie: 

And baked cinnamon apples!

I think picking apples will be a new fall tradition at our house!
