October Fun

Since we went to Disney early this year, it feels we missed a bit of fall.  We only picked apples once and that day Austin wasn't feeling too well.  We later found out he had strep throat.  Brian traveled again for a week so that didn't help anything.  When he travels, I don't enjoy doing drop offs and picks ups but I have a system down now. So it's not as bad.

Austin had his first field trip this month with his school.  They went to a Planetarium.  I thought that was cool.  Austin enjoyed it too.  He had a Friday off school and I took them to the Science Center.  Austin was so excited about that. He loves it there!

Once again we did Magical Whooloween.  Kids and I enjoyed it.  Brian wasn't feeling well.  He didn't do the train right with us.  We did enjoy the nature walk together.  Austin did a good job asking questions about animals to the naturalist.

We had a beautiful weather day for Boo at the Zoo.  Austin is a mad scientist this year.  Sydney is a witch.  It was in the 70's and sunny all day.  It was great.  We enjoyed all the treat stations.  They walk the entire zoo.  We like Akron's Boo at the Zoo better.  The treat stations are better and the kids can easily walk the entire zoo.

After the zoo, we walked the Gorge Metropark.  It is a challenging hike but Sydney and Austin did great and loved it.  Austin walked the entire 2 miles after doing Boo at the Zoo.  Sydney needed picked up some but walked most of it.  It was a beautiful day to spend outside together.

We went on our last camping trip this weekend to Punderson again.  We really like it there.  Austin and Sydney enjoy riding their bikes around the loop.  They had fun finding trash and making witches brew too.  All was their idea.  It was much cooler this weekend.  Good thing our heater works well in the camper.  Winter coats were needed but we all had a great time.  Brian and I are getting better at using the camper and are able to enjoy it more.  Austin and Sydney has always loved the camper.

Brian has winterized the camper.  And we cleaned the garage so our cars fit in it again!  We definitely don't want to scrape our cars in these cold mornings!

Now we are getting ready for the Cavs season opener and trick or treat!
