We have had some busy weekends. Two weeks ago we went to a local pumpkin patch. We had a great time. They had a great play area for the kids and a corn maze that was fun for the adults and kids. Alexa had fun with her caterpillar. She carried him around for ten to fifteen minutes before we made her return him to the corn.She loved walking through the corn.
The next week Sky came over to play. The two girls did some painting and then played the rest of the day. Alexa loves to have Sky come over.

Then this weekend was the annual trip to Grandma and Grandpa's to visit the apple orchard. Going to Edward's apple orchard has been a family tradition since I was a kid. The orchard was struck by a tornado last January and suffered major damage to the apple barn and the owner's home. They have rebuilt. I was worried it would not "feel" like Edwards but they did a great job in rebuilding. The most important thing is that the apple cider donuts are just as good as ever! Alexa enjoyed hers.

Alexa insisted on a pony ride. The pony's name was Sammy.

And of course we had to get a picture in the train. Unfortunately Alexa's cousins were not able to make it this year. Next year we will get them all in the picture. We had been worried whether the train had survived the tornado and it did!

And of course to top off the weekend Alexa got pumpkins from Grandpa's garden. What a lucky girl!
