Pumpkin Patch 2016

The cousins came down from Chicago and we had them over to play for Friday evening and then headed to Curtis Orchard the next day. The weather was GORGEOUS and we had a blast!

We decided to join her because she looked so cute in the big chair…it didn’t turn out at all like I was imagining…How do you sit in those things?!

This is what happens when I send Shannon to get the pic. He doesn't yell at them to smile like I do. This is what happens when you let kids do what they want...

Mac’s Day

Grandpa Neukomm offered to take Mac out in the semi during the harvest this year. Since we had a long weekend, they headed out on our Monday off.

The Best Day

Another one of our trees had to come down recently. So with the weather finally cooling down and a day off from work, we took a great evening and had a bonfire. We decided to roast hot dogs and s’mores too. Unfortunately, the fire was too hot, so we had to back it down to embers to cook the hot dogs, and even then it was almost too hot to do! But it was a success and we enjoyed our hot dogs and brats cooked over the bonfire!

Patrick looked at me at one point and said, “This is the best day!”

Eleanor is 3!

We went north for Eleanor’s birthday party and had a great time. The weather was perfect for an afternoon and evening on the deck.
