Will checked out all the pumpkins on display when you first walk into the farm. 

Then he made sure to try out all the different animal faces and have his picture taken with them.

John and mommy joined in the fun, too!

We walked around the pumpkin patch and the boys inspected all the pumpkins and gourds.

I thought it would be a great opportunity to take some pictures of the boys. They thought wrestling and acting like goofballs sounded more fun :)

How are those pumpkins looking, boys?

My littlest pumpkin playing in the pumpkin patch.

Wow, daddy and Will are really tall! Will's a lot bigger than he was last year (in the photo on the right)!

Both our boys in front of the sign. It'll be fun to see how much they grow. Sadly, we didn't have any pictures of John from last year because he was asleep in the stroller the whole time, being a newborn and everything.

Our little family. I sure do love these boys.

Mommy wanted a picture in the big chair. Will thought turning around and ignoring me would be more fun. I got a picture with my 2 little cuties.

We did the hayride before we left and also had caramel apple snacks. Will really liked the hayride because we got to stop and feed the cows for a few minutes. I have no idea why we missed having any pictures with Nana but she was with us the whole time, except for the hayride. She stayed back with the stroller and all of our stuff. All in all it was a great day at the farm. 

Nana (Erik's mom) came for a visit from South Carolina in early October and we spent a lot of time doing fun things with her and the kids. On Saturday, October 3rd we went to the Town of Waukesha Pancake Breakfast at the fire station. The kids really enjoyed the all you can eat pancakes and picked up swag bags full of fire safety info and some fireman hats. 

It was a chilly day and we didn't plan for coats for the kids as we didn't really plan to do anything outside. Luckily we had winter hats for the kids so we were able to squeeze in some time in the fire trucks and ambulances. 

Will got to practice being a firefighter and put out the fire in the house with the help one of the firefighters. We also watched a burn demonstration that showed the difference between a fire in a house with a sprinkler system vs. without. By then we were all pretty cold and were ready to call it a day so we packed up the kids and headed back home.

On Sunday we met Nana and some of Erik's family in Libertyville, IL to celebrate Grandma Zimm's birthday. It was a small celebration with cake and punch and a nice chance to see some of Erik's extended family.
