Fall is just around the corner and we can't wait to do some fun fall activities as a family. But, the weather has been gorgeous, so we are soaking our last bit of summer too.
On Friday, Daddy brought this giant box home from work. Since Friday nights are Family Movie Night, the kids decided to turn it into a giant car and have a drive-in movie. Eventually, it turned into a drive-in bed. They loved working on their car though and it added some excitement to our normal movie night.
Tessa has one summer merit badge left...learning to ride her bike. We have been trying to get her to do this for 2 summers now, and she is just plain terrified. She and Daddy have been working on it and she gets better each time. She just needs to have a little bit more confidence and be a little less worried about getting hurt and she will have this down.
Saturday afternoon, we took the kids to Thanksgiving Points Farm Land. They loved seeing all the animals! Caleb loves animals and growls at all of them.
The older kids got to try some lassoing. Tessa was a natural!
All 4 kids got to ride a pony. Caleb loved it and screamed when we took him off. We'll have to go do this again soon.
We had Stick Horse Races. Adam beat the record by 1 second.
They learned all about horse shoes.
We went on a fun wagon ride. We got comments all afternoon about he whole family being in our BYU garb. Hey, it's game day people! We represent and are proud of our Cougars!!
We spent some of our evening at Ma and Pa's house for our annual Oktoberfest. Pa made delicious German food for dinner and the kids had fun playing some German games that Ma prepared.
Adam and Daddy got to go to the football game that night and sit in the Loge with Daddy's cousins. Adam loved every minute of it and was over the moon happy about our crazy win at the end of the game. Peter told me the next day that Adam knew more about football than he did.
Half-time nachos.
Adam wishes it was football season all year long!!
