Fall Weekends

Although the weather has not yet cooled to acceptable fall temperatures, we've been enjoying lots of traditional fall activities on the weekends.

We took the kids to their first Mizzou football game.  It was a much different day than game days back when we were students but we had a lot of fun and the kids were great!  We made it into the 3rd quarter before heading out - a big improvement over our recent attempt at a Cardinals game :)

Ready to go!

We came prepared with lots of snacks!

Yesterday we continued our annual (and one of my favorite) tradition of apple picking at Eckert's with my parents and sister's family.  It was a beautiful day but a bit too hot for my liking.  It should be cool and crisp for apple picking!  I think next year we might try to go in October in order to try to get a different variety of apples as well as cooler temperatures.  Of course if we do it will probably be 30 degrees! The kids had an absolute blast though and we brought home lots of apples!

Charlie loves apples!  He was so sticky!

We picked Red and Golden Delicious

After picking apples the kids enjoyed the carnival area.  I was surprised that after only a little convincing Peyton actually went on two little rides!  She had so much fun!  Charlie loved the petting zoo!

Pure joy!

We capped off the morning with lunch at the Eckert's Restaurant.  We travel with quite a crew these days!
