Fall is in the Air

JD's dad, Jack, had a kidney removed last week so we headed to Spokane to check out his 'shark bite' and make sure he had plenty of chocolate covered peanuts to get him through recovery. Here's the crew: Turns out, Jack's second kidney has taken over and is functioning great. Praise God for sure! We came out of the hospital to find a flat tire.


On our way home, we stopped at Green Bluffs in Spokane to check out the local fall-related festivities. The funniest part of this picture was that JD was whistling Chariot's of Fire- Hahahaha. Gage is quite the 'chariot driver' if I do say so myself :)

Only in Eastern Washington, right?







Then, when we got closer to home and the boys got increasingly more restless, we decided to stop at Country Mercantile for a break. JD about had a heart attack when he shelled out $18 for this tractor ride but we made the most of it :) I about died laughing when he asked if the price included the pumpkin! Not only did the price NOT include the pumpkin, but they JUST deflated the big ol bounce house AND instead of walking through the corn maze, we got to take a stroll through the corn FIELD. Seriously, how funny is that?








...and the haystack maze. If you look real close, you can see Gage's little melon.

doh! the kids and i were in colfax last week!!! we flew home on saturday. i thought about calling, but we were only there about a week and you KNOW how short time gets when you try to do, well, anything extra on a trip.

we are, however, driving up at Cmas this year. i'm hoping we get to visit with you guys on that trip.

maybe it's just me, but i'm thinking that if the bouncy and the corn maze were gone there should have been a discount at the very least.

glad you all had fun in the fall air.
