Fall Fun weekend

We went on a little Wisconsin getaway this past weekend.  We spent two nights with Aunt Mary--although I have no pictures to record that.  We had lots of fun at her house watching sports games, going to playgrounds, going to a garage sale, and even having a water gun fight as it was so hot!

We made one outing to an apple orchard not far from Aunt Mary's house.  It was really, really hot, but we still had some fun.  There was a play area for the kids with hay bales to climb, games to play and kittens to visit.  We got to go for a hay ride and Timothy and Teresa tired out the apple sling shot.  I liked that we could actually pick our own apples!

On Sunday we drove to Milwaukee to watch a Cubs-Brewers game.  The kids played up their love of the Cubs quite a bit while staying with Aunt Mary since she is a Brewers fan.  Although it was a hot day, we were not in the sun and got to see the Cubs win.  The kids enjoyed watching the game and since coming home have talked about how much they want to go to another game.

Sundays have a special feature for kids--they get to run the bases after the game.  That was a fun bonus for a great afternoon.  Troy is working to pass his enjoyment of baseball on to the kids.  After this weekend it seems they too love to go to a ball game!
