a return to summer for a few days!!!

Our family at the pumpkin patch!


Addison and her friend William on the slide!
Addison loved the string trio! She sat in this little red chair for ~20 minutes hypnotized by the music!
Addison and daddy rode Sadie, Joe and William rode Babe!


One of the last times wearing sun-dresses this year!
A lazy day with daddy-resting!

We have had some interesting weather here lately! The temperatures returned to the upper 70s-80s for about a week or so.....so we have been taking full advantage of enjoying outside time!
Addison turned 13 months on the 6th of October...wow, our big girl!
We had a busy weekend...including mommy and daddy each getting to spend a night out with friends, a Saturday trip to Uptown for shopping and appetizers (Addison entertained the entire place by switching around all of the outside chair cushions, and dancing!), and a Sunday trip with our friends the Grunnet family to Apple Jack's Orchard (pumpkin patch) in Delano, MN.
Addison loved the trip to the pumpkin patch! There was a petting zoo, a store with a cafe/bakery with yummy treats, a small cow train that went through the fields, lots of pumpkins to choose from for Halloween, a small slide for kids, and wagon rides! Addison's favorite part of all was listening to the string trio-she was absolutely still and quiet, watching intently for about 20 minutes! We had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful weather. Addison has a pumpkin that weighs the same as she does this year....19 and a half pounds! We look forward to carving it with her some day soon and baking pumpkin seeds!
Addison had another fun day at music class yesterday.....this time she got to play with ribbon sticks and egg shakers! She always loves the rhythm sticks and parachute rides too! She really does seem to just LOVE music! She regularly makes her way over the piano at home and reaches up to play a few notes, as well as strumming the guitars a little too! :-)
Enjoy the pictures!
