Hello again! We hope everyone is doing well! The past week we have been busy with some fun fall activities! We went to the pumpkin patch again and we went to Zoo Boo at the Indianapolis Zoo. Here are our pictures from last week. Enjoy!

Ava has now learned to open the snack cabinet. Here she is giving me "the look" because I told her "no"!
On Tuesday morning we had Gymboree. Ava is still in Level 3 but in November will graduate to Level 4!One of her new favorite activities at Gymboree is jumping on the trampoline.This is Ava and her friend, Sophia. They were born on the exact same day!Once again, when we got home, Ava was helping herself to the snack cabinet. I guess she decided on Doritos.When Daddy got home from work on Wednesday, he decided he wanted to get in the ball pit with Ava!Thursday night we went to Gymboree Music. Before class starts though, it's Play Gym so Ava gets to play for a little bit. Here she is being pulled by Daddy.Here she is on the trampoline...again.In music class she really likes playing the cabassa...
and whatever that is called!When we got home she went straight for the snack cabinet...again.On Friday we went to Waterman's Farm again with Grandma Harless and Uncle Clay. It was pretty cold outside this time. Ava got to wear her winter coat for the first time...and her gloves!

She had alot of fun playing with Uncle Clay.

Here she is on the hay ride.

On Saturday, Mommy, Daddy and Ava went to Zoo Boo. Here she is getting ready.
Ava the Duck!
Ava decided that since she's a big fifteen-month old that she needs to walk now...Here is Ava and Daddy looking at the baboons. Ava really liked the giraffes, sharks, bears and baboons.
Here is Ava Trick or Treating. She would say "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You"...she's so polite!Walking to the next Trick or Treat stand!Look how close Daddy and Ava are to that Emu!
"Mom...I hate when you put this thing on my head!"Ava is in a scary grave yard...look at all of the ghosts! Ava was really scared of this guy!Well, we hope you enjoyed the pictures! We will update again soon!
Love,
Grant, Christin & Ava

Today, we went to Waterman's Apple Orchard with Jennifer and Ron. There was so much to do! We had such a great time. Here are some pictures we took.
Here is Daddy and Ava in the corn maze. We all ended up getting separated and had to find our own way out!Here is Ava at the petting barn. She got to see chickens, bunnies and goats!
Look how tall Ava is! She's grown so much in the past year!Here is Mommy, Daddy and Ava on the hay ride to go to the pumpkin patch! This was Ava's first hay ride!
Here is Ron and Jennifer!

Daddy and Ava found the perfect carving pumpkin! It weighed just as much as she does! This was Mommy and Ava's first time in a real pumpkin patch!


Ava found a pumpkin just her size!





We hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Hello again everyone! We've been so busy and having such a great time! On Saturday, September 29, Daddy, Mommy and Ava were in the Avon Heritage Festival Parade representing Gymboree! We had such a great time waving to everyone! Here are some pictures from the parade!
Ava wasn't too sure about meeting the "real-life Gymbo"!
Here is Daddy and Ava walking ahead of Mommy!


Ava was so pooped after the parade...she had to kick back and relax!
On Friday, October 5th, Mommy and Ava went to the Pumpkin Patch with Isaac and Luke and their Mommies. They had such a good time with each other!
Here is Ava and Luke watching the big truck go by while they are drinking their cider slushies!
Mmmm....Good!
Ava wasn't too sure about the hay!
Isaac is so nice...good sharing!

On Sunday, October 7th, Mommy, Daddy and Ava went up to Terre Haute to visit with Uncle Justin, Aunt Kasie and Baby Camden. Ava and Camden had such a great time together...well, Ava did anyway!
Ava fell asleep eating PB&J before we left!
Here is Ava changing Camden's diaper...what a big help!
Here is Ava "honking" Camden's nose...
What a happy little guy!


Well, we hope you enjoyed the pictures! Take care!
