We have been lucky to have lots of visitors come to celebrate and meet Avery. Dave's parents got in late Friday evening and Scott was able to stay through the weekend. Sharon was nice enough to stay an extra week to help out. We got up on Saturday and went to Brown's Berry Patch to pick a pumpkin and enjoy some of the fall activities they have there. We went out to the apple orchard and picked the biggest apples I've ever seen! Most of us did a lot of taste testing to make sure the apples were good enough to pick:) We ate lunch and got some yummy cider topped off with ice cream. Addison picked a big pumpkin that we'll carve right before Halloween. Avery was a champ and hung out in her stroller sleeping away and enjoying some warm weather. Dave and I took Addison into the Adventure zone and played around for a while. They have a giant jumping pillow, tall slide, ropes maze, goats and ride toys that we ran around doing. Addison was very brave climbing up the ropes to get to the top of the slide all by herself. I am terrified of heights so I was a little nervous when she kept saying that she could do it herself. She has gotten over her fear of goats and actually went near than this year without screaming. Dave played with her on the jumping pillow and they had fun messing around on it. We ran into our friends the Quinn's there which was nice since we haven't been out much with Avery. We all came home exhausted, but it was a nice day to be outside! We were able to bless Avery the next day which was nice to have Scott there to be in the circle. Monday we went downtown to Fowler's Chocolate and took a tour of their factory. You get a whole bunch of samples and get to see how it's all made. Addison didn't want to wear the hair net so I waited outside with her until she was ready to put it on...which took an hour! She was bribed with sprite to put it on. Oh man I hope she gets over that fear by the time winter hat season comes! Scott took us out to a Mexican restaurant that evening and then had to catch and early flight the next morning. Sharon has been busy dancing and playing tea party with Addison everyday. She is full of so much energy and is really into make believe play lately. I have been able to go to several appointments while she is here to watch Addison. One day we made Halloween cookies and decorated them to take over to Rochester to give to Dave. Addison did a lot of licking of the frosting and sprinkles! She made Avery a really soft purple blanket that she likes to lay on. She also brought Addison some little ponies that she likes to carry everywhere! Thanks for coming to visit Grandma and Grandpa Michael!
