Fall Fun

It was a beautiful fall day so we met the cousins at Cozy Nook.  We had never been there so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised.  We went on a 1/2 hour hayride.  Afterwards, the kids discovered a huge barn full of hay bales to climb on.  We could have let them play for hours!  They also had animals to see and we had to pick out some pumpkins of course.  We always have a good time when all six of the cousins get together!

Havin' fun on the hayride!

All the cousins!  Hopefully somebody else captured a better picture!

Already a baseball fan!

On Friday, my friend Julie invited us to a Halloween party at Midwest Twisters where her daughter takes gymnastics.  The kids were able to use the equipment and earn candy afterwards as a reward.  They had an inflatable slide, bounce house, trampoline, zip line, foam pit and other fun activities.  It took a bit for Alex to warm up but once he did, he loved it.  His favorite was the trampoline but he tried a little of everything.  The kids each received a medal for dressing in costume.  It really was a fun event!
