Cornville Fall Break

Charlotte's fall break, my nieces birthday party, my mom's fall break, and our cabinet/sinks/faucets removal all coincided. Talk about the stars aligning to get us out of the construction zone.  Which means we spent yet another entire week up in Cornville at my parent's house in October! While Matt stayed home and did all the hard work after his regular job every day!

We went to Maya's fun princess party!

We swung in hammocks and swings.

We bonded with cousins!

A little too much!

Olly and Abby do this often- Trac seemed to like Abby's applesauce too.

We took golf cart rides.

Grandad's newest toy is a big hit- you can fit WAY more grand kids on a golf cart than a quad, it's quieter and it doesn't tear up the lawn!  We rode it around the yard/orchard and down to the creek.

We went to the fair one evening!

Fort Verde Days Fair.  Charlotte has been begging to go to a fair- this was probably the cheapest and easiest way to appease her.  I was impressed that Olly and Abby liked all the little kids rides except the carousel.

We loved the cooler weather!  It was  a little chilly on our morning runs- where my dad gave us how to chase off a coyote lessons.  Most people carry mace to scare off crazy people- I guess I'd rather take my chances with a coyote.  Luckily we never ran into any.  It was eerie to hear them howling at night- I love where I grew up!  I think Olly was outside 95% of his waking hours pushing the Tonka truck over the whole acre- the new huge dirt pile-soon to be pond slide- being his truck ramp of choice.

We went to my old grade school to play on the playground and see my mom's classroom.  It made me so nostalgic and sad at the same time to see the school where I went to kindergarten through 8th grade.  There's nothing like a small town school.

Thanks again for letting us take over your house for a week mom and dad!
