Harvest Moon Acres (the second trip!)

On Saturday, Harvest Moon Acres hosted the author Johnathan Rand.  If you read two of his books and wrote him a letter you earned free admission and would be able to meet him!  Tommy worked hard and really enjoyed the books, so he was excited to go back again.  We took Nathan with us this time and the weather was much nicer.  It was a fun day!
 
In the corn maize!

Talking to Johnathan Rand.  He was really nice and spent a lot of time talking to Tommy.

Boo Zoo Fun!

Our snow princess, Spiderman, Tom Brady, and a shark!

Week 43- Batts Everyday

Day 292
Sweet Caroline was not feeling well and finally fell asleep in my bed.  Poor baby :(

Day 293
The air conditioner would not stop running so the heating/cooling place told me to pull the disconnect.  This required several pictures such as this one to be texted to Nathan so that he could walk me through it on the phone :)
 
Day 294
I hope I never forget the way these two will play in football in the front yard for hours.  They love to run around in the yard.

Day 295
Shopping for Halloween costumes!

Day 296
Papa took the boys to a movie and brought over a state quarter map.  It was a big hit!

Harvest Moon Acres

Last Saturday we meet up with Aunt Sarah (brave Aunt Sarah!) who had kept the kids overnight and had a fun morning at Harvest Moon Acres!  The kids had a great time exploring and playing.  The overall favorite was the hayride.  We had a great time!

It was freezing out and sort of drizzling a cold rain.  After spending hours walking around in the cold, these two crazy boys chose snow cones as their treats :)
