Fall Fun

This past weekend we enjoyed some wonderful crisp fall days!! What better activity to do in the fall than play in the leaves!!





On Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch. They had a corn "sand box", which the girls loved. And I loved that it was so clean.
Madi loved the big slide and wanted to go again and again!
We had met Dan and Dee and the kids there also. Madi and Erika are in the front barrell. Andrew is in the next one. Emily is holding Taylor in the last one.

Our new home

Before the farmers did a lot of harvesting last week, we were surrounded by nothing but corn. Now we don't even have that!! :) Us girls really enjoyed watching all the tractors while we sat at our kitchen table and ate our meals. Madi had a lot of questions, like, "what's that?" and "what are they doing?". My typical response was, "I don't know, let's ask daddy when he gets home". Yeah, I so don't know my tractors or harvesting process!! :)
Here's a couple of pictures of our view. The clusters of trees in both pictures are where there are other homes. The closest neighbor we have is about 1/4 mile away. The area we live in is a plain, so its very flat and very windy!!

Country life is quiet, beautiful and very different from the life I've always known. This next year is going to be an adventure!!
