We took the kids to their first Indian's game this season. It was fireworks night so it worked out great. We are not huge baseball fans but it's still fun to go to the ballpark. It was $1 hot dog night. Sydney loves hot dogs. We had dinner in our seats and then walked around most of the game. We went back to our seats at the end of the game to watch the fireworks. Austin and Sydney love fireworks. They enjoy being able to stay up and watch them. They need to have their ears covered but they will sit and watch them until they are over. Once they are over they always want more!
We went to one of our favorite fall festivals at Patterson's Farm. When we arrived we were sad because they were out of apples and we couldn't pick our own. But Patterson has many other activities to do so we did that knowing we were going apple picking after our day at Patterson. The kids had fun on the slides and playground. They liked the corn maze. The really enjoyed going in the corn fields and trying to find corn. We also got a nice family photo in the corn maze too. Brian has awesome photo equipment that enables him to take great pictures. I sometimes get annoyed because I am chasing the kids while he sets up but the pictures are worth it. Sydney liked the sunflower fields. Austin got to drive some of the cars around the track. They got to go up on some trackers too. We had a great day at Patterson.
Then we went to Eddy's to pick some apples. They love picking their own apples especially since they get to stand on Daddy's shoulders to get the apples. They had a system this time. Austin got the apples and throw them down to Sydney. Sydney would put them in the bag. They love getting apples. Austin loves the apple pealing we got at home. He is always asking to peel apples. He likes making applesauce with Daddy.
Austin recently had his ear tubes checked. They are both in. The right is starting to come out a little bit. The doctor is hopeful that it will remain in for this winter season. If we can make it though this season I think we should be good for Austin. Sydney was close to having ear tubes but luckily she made it. We will see what happens this winter.
I take the kids to story time at the library every week. We have come so far with this. Last year the kids baring participated in it. They would be running around the room or hitting each other. Austin would always have to be on my lap. This year they really do a great job. They will even sit close to the teacher to see the books while I am sitting in the back of the class. This is a huge step for Austin. Sydney is more outgoing and will do whatever. Austin is more hesitant. After story time, the kids get 3-4 books each that they pick out. They love coming home to read them.
The first Saturday of the month Home Depot has a kids building project. They have been going for about 5 months now. They enjoy it. They both really enjoy art. We help them build the project. Austin is good at using the hammer. Sydney needs a little more help but she is getting good at it. They really love painting their projects after they are done. It's nice that Home Depot does that.
The other night, Pizza Hut had kids make their own pizza night. Austin and Sydney got to make their own pizzas. They enjoyed that. They evened like eating it. It seems like the only eat pizza at school or when we are out. It was a fun night out.
I took the kids on a field trip to Sirna's Farm. We got to go on a hayride. Then the kids rode on ride pulled by the tractor. Austin was hesitant at first but once he knew that I would walk next to it he did it. It was a cool ride. Then they played in the corn pit and put ducks in water race. We ended the tour walking though the corn maze. Within 5 minutes of being in it, Sydney fell and got all muddy. She didn't seem to mind though. They liked it so much we went though it twice per their request. They got two small pumpkins to bring home. It was a fun morning field trip.
That evening we went to a local fire station open house. It was the best day ever for Austin. He loves firetrucks. He watches Fireman Sam on Amazon and he loves it. Seeing the fire trucks up close and getting to sit in them makes him very happy. They had fire hats for kids too and balloons. They had a bounce house to climb up and slide down. We didn't know if Sydney could do it but she did it. My dad came with us. He had a great time too. Meemaw has been in Alaska so she couldn't join us. It was so nice of the community to do that open house. It was an awesome evening
The kids really like reading right now. Sydney's favorite book is Spot's Big Book. It has colors, numbers, and pictures in it. Austin likes new books. He likes reading new books and learning about the story. That is why I love taking them to the library on Tuesdays. It's fun to come home and read all the new books we got together. Some weeks they pick out great books other weeks not as much but we only have them for a week.
