Fall Festivities

We ventured over to Brown's Berry Patch this weekend to kick off the cooler weather. The Quinn's invited us to join their family and we had a great time. Poor Addison survived despite the fact that we forgot just about everything she needed. She got her pants soaking wet twice, needed a diaper change with no diapers, froze her little hands and face off and the list goes on! She had plenty to distract her and keep her happy though. We went apple picking first and did more eating than picking. We picked a few really sweet ones to turn into caramel apples. We snacked on a few raspberries on our way over to the pumpkin patch. Addison wasn't too sure about the berries at first, but ended up loving them. The pumpkins were ginormous and we ended up picking out a twenty plus pounder. All Addison wanted to do was sit on all the pumpkins. Listening to her try and say pumpkin was priceless. It was a jumble between a really loud "P" and a kin at the end. There was a little grill there that we grabbed some chili and fries at for lunch. Addison chose to pull the wagon around the trees instead of eating. There were a whole bunch of kid rides and animals that we took Addison over to. She still has a fear of ravenously hungry goats, but did like pointing to the baby goats. There was a giant slide that you had to climb a rope ladder to get to. I have a giant fear of heights so when Addison started pointing towards it I felt my stomach turn. I conquered my fears several times and Addison loved the fast slide. At one point Addison got ahead of me and slid down sideways. She still had a smile on her face in the end! There was a huge bouncy pillow shaped trampoline. I took Addison up on it since Dave said his shoes had too many laces to undo...lame! I got up there and realized how scared I get jumping. I begged Dave to get his butt up there and he did. He ended up jumping for a long time! Addison was mostly scared, but liked being in her dad's arms while jumping. We grabbed some apple cider donuts and enjoyed them on the long drive home. 

We also got to listen to conference this weekend. I always forget how much I enjoy this weekend. Addison gave us the best present and took her long nap during the Sunday morning session. It was really peaceful and  I got a lot out of it. We had some friends over for chili and dessert in between sessions. Addison's bff Will kept her occupied during the afternoon session and Dave stayed awake! We ended the night by skyping our families which has turned into a Sunday tradition. Here's to cooler weather and fall festivities!
