Logging and pumpkin patch

 FRIDAY - No school today so the twins came to stay with us.  The big news this morning from Harper was that she can pick up Ava now, the look on her face shows that it isn't easy!  Papa weighed them and Ava was 38 lbs., Harper 36.

 Parker was over at 7:30 a.m., ready to cut down the messy pine beside the play fort.  He wanted to get done by 10 to go horseback riding with Olivia.  Having Grandpa Dan's tractor to use made the job much easier and he was done by 9:30.

The twins got play at Aunt Cathy's after that and then Jillian and Bridget came up to play and have lunch with them.

 The girls were excited to find a caterpillar this afternoon, first they made it a home by the driveway and then put it in a plastic container and brought it inside for awhile.

 SATURDAY - We went to the Delemeter Valley Pumpkin Patch, first we got a long hayride down to the lower field.

 The kids got a ride in the carts to the pumpkin slingshot area.

It was fun, Ava got a good launch on this pumpkin.

 The kids posed for pictures and picked out pumpkins.  Ava got a baby pumpkin, Harper got a bigger one,  Rielee's was huge, and Auna picked a dark orange one.  We didn't do the corn maze since Auna said it was really long and Rielee didn't have much time since she had a soccer game later.  It was also raining a little.

When we got home they decorated their pumpkins with markers.
