Fall Fun

 We decided to take Joanna to the Marana pumpkin patch on a weekend when Rayne was out of town. The flaw in our plan is that it was 100 degrees that day. We got there early to beat the lines, but it was still stinking hot and not nearly as pleasant as it could have been.

Not the best lighting. Felix was neutral about his first pumpkin patch photo op.

This slide is always a favorite! (Ignore the giant finger please.)

Isaac was very tickled by the singing animatronic tractor. I love the sweetness of preschool aged kids.

This guy was a champ for the whole sweat fest!

An ice cream break was very nice. Isaac didn't eat his as much as rub it all over his body.

Family fun in the blinding sun!

Another fun trip with Joanna and Rayne was to the Desert museum. I was glad to squeeze in one last trip before our annual pass expired. 

Annie got the "Owl"Standing award at school! I love going to the awards assemblies at her school and hearing the kids sing their school song. "We aaaaaare the owls! Hoot!" 

Annie went on a 6 mile bike ride to Nellie's birthday party at the clubhouse!

Isaac had his first croup attack in two years. Just like the last time, he went to bed with just a hint of a stuffy nose and then woke up barely able to breathe. The raspy sound he makes is horrible. Luckily a steroid treatment fixed him up in no time. He was almost completely better then next day. 

One morning, the kids were very excited to discover Annie's sequined shirt doing cool things in the morning sunlight. Elliot ran to grab some stained glass peel and stick stuff that Breezy had gifted them. I love these moments when the kids are united by the simple joys like these.
