October Fun

So, in my previous post I said we were all better.  Not quite.  I ended up getting bronchitis and the beginnings of pneumonia.  Luckily we are better now.  Or at least we were, this week is Eli's big test week, and he always gets a bad cold the week he studies his butt off.  Last test-time was when he got pneumonia.  But, I think it's not as bad this time though.

Anyway, we had a great October, despite the sickies.  We had a visit from Eli's step-mom Karen.  It was so much fun!  We had a great visit with her.  We did a lot of fun things with her: went to the beautiful Cave Hill Cemetery (which sounds creepy, but it is a beautiful, old, historic cemetery with lots of historic trees and beautiful scenery), walked along the river, watched movies, and the best part: went to our favorite pumpkin patch!  Thanks for making the trip Grandma!  It was a beautiful  fall, and Caroline really loved playing with her Grandma.  She kept giving her hugs and kisses, and loved to have her take care of her.  She even let Grandma get her up in the mornings and after naps, which means I got to sleep in and nap most morning!  I loved it, especially since I had bronchitis and didn't know it.

Enjoy the pictures!

At the petting zoo, this was the "animal" she kept wanting to come back and pet.

She only kind of liked feeding the animals.

The goats were funny

The turkeys were in that cage, and without any prodding she started walking like a turkey and making turkey noises.  It was hilarious.

Her other favorite part was the playground!

She liked the swing too.

She seriously loves playing basketball with Eli

She loved the tractors

She kept sitting on all the pumpkins!

This is my favorite

And she kept trying to pick them up
