12M ~ September 2019

Our annual trip to the Deerfield Fair!

It's not a trip to the Deerfield Fair without sharing a turkey leg with Grammy! 🍗

Chaos & Kindness!

Halloween Fun 2016!

We love Halloween and dressing up!  It was a busy October with two big school events, but we still found some time to get the decorations up (even if it was a couple weeks later than normal) and we had a blast Trick or Treating with our friends.

Ghosts!

Tapping in the Trick or Treat sign!

While shopping for their Halloween costumes, the boys had a little fun!

And it would not be Halloween without the traditional Halloween Portraits!

Trick or Treating was on a Monday this year, but we still invited friends to come to our neighborhood to join us.  We didn't make the whole loop, but they still walked away with tons of candy!

Ready to go!

The whole gang!

The Fall Bucket List!

Most people I know have their Fall Bucket list items.  We typically do the same ones year to year, but I was really happy to be able to cross off the Deerfield Fair off my list this year.  We missed it last year.

The BEST Chicken Fingers around - made with love by his friends Mom!

TURKEY LEG!  Nom, nom, nom!

It would not be the Deefield Fair experience we love so much without waiting for the Flying Walenda's show!  It's pretty much the reason I go.  I'm not into smelly farm animals.  I like the food and the Walenda's!  Lucky for me the boys love it just as much and this year they won a copy of their DVD!  It was an interesting documentary on their family history in walking the wire.

Waiting for the show to start!

Cousins!

Evan and Momma Selfie!

The show was awesome and after the boys got their autographs and pictures with their favorites!

Alex Walenda!

JP the Clown!

Grammy getting her picture too!

Elvis pumpkin!

And because they waited for a long time so we could watch the Walenda's they got to choose a few rides!

Shaun and Evan in the front row!

This is awesome!

He liked the little dragon one so much he decided to try the big one too!

David being a good big brother and riding with Evan!

Shaun wanted to ride his favorite, the Tilt-a-Whirl (or as some people call it the Tilt-a-HURL!  My sister took one for the team and rode with Shaun!

BEST. AUNTIE. EVER!

I think she is cursing me in this one!

So happy to have his Auntie take him!

After the rides, it was time to go grab some dinner.  We ran into some of our friends.  And then mayhem ensued!  It was such a fun day at the fair and I got my soup, donut as big as my face and saw the Walendas, crossing off a good portion of my bucket list!

The gang!

We didn't get to do any official apple picking this year, but I did get my apple cider donut and Evan and I enjoyed a quick trip with Family Center to a local orchard.  It rained on us for a good portion but it was still fun!

I spy Evan Michael!

Happy Fall!  Now we get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas bucket lists!
