Pumpkin Patch

The second weekend in October we met Matt's family in Columbus.  Last year we met them at a pumpkin patch and had a great time, so we decided to meet them there again this year.  There is a ton of stuff for the kids to do so the boys had a lot of fun.  We have lucked out both years with the weather....it was upper 70's and sunny again this year :)

 This year we decided to stay in a hotel for the night so we could see Matt's family a little more.  We went swimming Saturday night when we got back to the hotel and the boys also went again on Sunday morning before we left.  Matt was throwing a ball in the air as Landon jumped in to see if he could catch it.  He got the hang of it pretty quickly.  Here he is mid jump trying to grab the ball.
 And he caught it!

What a fun weekend! We had a blast. Thanks for driving six hours to meet us.  We are very thankful we only had to drive two hours :)

Sesame Place

The first weekend of October we headed back to Sesame Place for "Count's Halloween Spooktacular" and also to celebrate Count's birthday.  Keegan is the age now that we took Landon to Sesame Place for the first time.  Both boys had a blast.  Keegan especially liked the rides.  He was so little on all of them, but he laughed and laughed while he was on them and always said "more" as soon as he was done with one. Landon loved seeing all the characters.  I love how excited he still gets for everything, even though we have been there a ton of times.  Keegan liked to wave hi and bye to the characters, but didn't really like them too close.  The weather was beautiful again....upper 70's and sunny!  We had another great trip to one of our favorite places.  Enjoy all the pics!

No Hands!!

Keegan and I on the flying fish....hands up!!
This was probably Keegan's favorite ride....Elmo's Blast Off.  It takes you up and then drops you down really fast and does this repeatedly.  Look how little Keegan looks....he can barely see over the harness.  However, he LOVED it.  He smiled the whole time and would laugh out loud when they were being dropped.  I have a really funny video of them on this ride.  Landon also loves this ride and was so cute being concerned about Keegan on it! 
Another time on the ride...

We had dinner with Count and friends to celebrate Count's birthday.  We had some good food: Chicken, turkey, potatoes, steamed veggies, hot dogs, chicken tenders, applesauce and mac and cheese.  Then for dessert, we had cake and ice cream!! The characters at the dinner (Zoe, Count, Cookie, Elmo and Grover) came around to all the tables and the boys got to dance with all the characters as well.  We had a blast!

Landon made Count a birthday card and Count loved it.  He gave Landon three hugs for it!!!
