The Beach. In October. We're Not In Siberia Any More!

So, we hate to make our friends back in T-land jealous, but we've been having all sorts of adventures here and wanted to put up some pictures.

Some of them have been around times, like you see above, with Grandma and cousins. We also got to go to a farm with a setup for kids a week or so ago as you see below:

It's harder to milk cows than it looks, Steven learned. Matthew had fun on a hay ride:

And both boys picked out a pumpkin to take home with them.

But the highlight of our last few weeks was a beach trip! We actually went to the beach when we first got back, but unfortunately I (Jesse) got sick on the way there, and we had to turn around and come home.

We thought that meant that we wouldn't see the beach for another 4 years, as we thought it would be too cold to go when we got back from our trip. However, He worked it out so that we had a couple of days of great warm weather, and we decided to take the boys down to the beach for one of them. It was a great time!

I think that will do it for this post. Stay tuned for a soon-to-come post on Bobbie's adventures at the State Fair, which is going on this week. But I'll let her post those pictures and talk to you about the fun she's had baking and decorating and picture-taking and all sorts of things for the fair.
