Pumpkin Picking

Last Friday, I went shopping again.  They talked me into buying this crazy shirt.  

The kids had a 1/2 day so we took them to Shady Brook Farm.  Ariel brought Fionna and Lilly. 

First some jumping.  

Hey Noah!

The twins watching the girls.  

Go girls!

Best way to celebrate some hard core jumping is with apple cider donuts.  

Alien Encounter.

Then we tried the haunted house.  

We took a tractor ride.  

Then it was pumpkin time.  

Lots of good ones to choose from.  

Eli found a huge pumpkin.  

The Maize Maze

Back at the house, the girls painted the pumpkins.  

Then they rode the Cyberquads.  

It was a long day.  Ariel then had her last cheer practice before the competition.  They let the parents come watch.  

This was my first time seeing the routine.  It was really good.  I can't show videos until after the season.  

Pep talk.  

Then Ariel went to Amelia's birthday party.  It was cold but they played volleyball for a while.  

I waited for her and chatted with Amelia's parents.  

Have a great weekend!

 

The Northern Lights

Last Wednesday we walked to school.  

That afternoon, Ariel had a cheer game.

lways fun to see her flying.

The season is coming to an end soon already.  

Eli practiced his violin.  

We made steak sandwiches and sweet potato fries.  

Eli's 3d printing business is booming.  

Last Thursday, Eli did his homework.

Then Ariel and Tessa had a pink out at cheer.  

The sky looked cool when I dropped her off.  

It looked even cooler a bit later when we could see the Northern lights.  How cool?!?

We've never seen them before where we live.  People were all over Facebook posting their pics.  

I took out the telescope a little and saw Jupiter. 

And some random galaxy.
