Penn State Chics Dig Nerds

Last Saturday following our morning and afternoon of soccer, we went to the corn maze.  We seriously spent two hours in the maze and were still missing two of the stamps for the game.  We had to give up since it was getting dark (and I'm not going in a corn maze in the dark). Part of the agreement with going to the corn maze was that they had to take time for photos.  However, we took so long in the corn maze, I didn't get many pictures.... This is it. At least it was fun. This would be a great picture if they goober in the middle would be a little more serious!  The mound of hay bales was fun, but there were too many big kids on it.  I felt like somebody was going to tumble off.

We had about 20 minutes one afternoon between an appointment and piano lessons.  We didn't have time to go home, so we stopped at a park. They were looking so cute that I had to take some photos.

Once again, we walked to the creek during Natalee's soccer practice.  We've done this quite a number of times this year.  I thought we were done for the year until we had an unusually warm couple of days early this week. This time, the leaves were beautiful. Unfortunately Brady skinned his knee on the sidewalk headed toward the creek.  He was being paranoid about Amie- you'll have to ask him about that one. Oh how I was wishing that I had my nice camera with me.  This is all just with my phone.  The yellow leaves looked on fire with the sun hitting them just right.  And the reflection on the water was so pretty.  The kids are cute, too :)  I just couldn't zoom in on them very well with my phone. They didn't catch nearly as many crawdads this time.  One reason was that Brady wasn't going as far in with his skinned knee open.  We read later that crawdads are less active and go to deeper water when it is colder, startin...

On Friday, Brady didn't have school, so we went to select our pumpkins.  It was more like, "Hurry up and pick a $3 pumpkin because it looks like it is going to pour down rain in about five minutes!" Why is Amie jumping?  For joy? When we got home, Brady carved his pumpkin and the girls painted faces on theirs.
