Yes, I am just now adding pictures from October 2008! Obviously the end of the year is busy for everyone, including us! There are tons of pictures from October. We love the fall and try to do as many fun, outdoor activities as possible! This month, we went to the Apple Orchard, Pumpkin Patch, Conner Prairie Headless Horseman, Children's Museum Haunted House and we had Jennifer and Ron's wedding...just to name a few! I hope you enjoy the pictures...and sorry for the wait!

So, we decided to try this new "Alphabet Dating" thing. We start with "A" and pick something to do as a family and then also a date for Grant and I. So, this was the start of our "Alphabet Dating". We spent the morning at the apple orchard, picking apples. It was the first time Ava has ever been and picked her own apples. It was lots of fun!

Ava got a new pet fish! She loves feeding him and taking care of him. She also likes to try to tell me that he's cold and wants to cuddle! I believe his name is "Baby".

On the night of Ron's Bachelor party, Jennifer and I took the girls to Conner Prairie to see the Headless Horseman. Turns out it was freezing that night and we were not as prepared as we should have been but it was worth it, and alot of fun. Ava loved the hayride was not at all afraid of the Headless Horseman.
Here is Ava playing the cymballs in the music tent.
