Fall Fun

We went to a fall festival at the local community college.

Maddie was so excited for the pony rides, but Sydnie refused to get on when it was her turn.

Sydnie was terrified when the animals at the petting zoo looked at her, but she enjoyed petting them from behind.


Sydnie was also too scared to get on the firetruck, but Maddie enjoyed learning about it.
This is how Witnie enjoyed the festivities.

The old fashioned firetruck wasn't as scary.
I thought this chicken was really funny.

Last week we went on an evening canoe trip. We paddled down a not moving river from one park to another. Then we were suppose to canoe back. We paddled and paddled and finally made it back to the wrong park we had just left. Somehow we got turned around and headed back the wrong direction. By this time it was 9:30 and we were 3 miles paddling or 5 miles running from our car and the parks closed at 10:00. Thankfully a park ranger drove by right then and drove Mark back to pick up our car before it was towed away. We had a fabulous time though because we never knew we were going the wrong way until the end, and it was a full moon and warm and absolutely beautiful.

Cute pictures of the girls and farm animals. It really is wonderful to be out in the wilderness in the evening or overnight. Can you canoe in and spend the night anywhere on the lakes?

Ooh exciting. Looks like you guys are off enjoying yourselves like usual! I really liked the Halloween castle your girls colored, it is cute! Mark's shoulder looks lovely! Do you push his bruises when you see them too or have you grown out of that mean habit? We miss you guys!
