Gardner's Village

On Saturday I took the 4 youngest to one of my favorite places, Gardner Village. They loved it. There were witches and pumpkins everywhere. Riley had her face painted and made a witches hat. They all loved the ponies and the petting zoo. Charlie got on the pony without any hesitation, but then Gracie's blanket fell and spooked his pony and he fell off. That was the end of the pony ride for Charlie. Surprisingly, Riley was the only one fearful of the goats in the petting zoo. The boys were basically laying on the goats. It was a lot of fun.

We Have New Neighbors

So the house next to us is for sale. On Friday, this lovely family was looking at it. What do you think?

Halloween Came Early

My friend, Lindsay West, had a Halloween Party on the 17th. A bit early for me, but still fun.

Sam

So we have a new toy. It is a Polaris Razor. Every one loves it, especially Sam.
