Pumpkin Farm

The boys enjoyed going to the pumpkin farm. Highlights included the fire truck, feeding zebras, cows, giraffes, and the pumpkin eating dinosaur. The boys were introduced to cider donuts and loved them! While picking a pumpkin on the patch, the boys thought the pumpkins looked like nice balls they could kick.

A Little of Everything!

The boys enjoyed the morning at Brookfield Zoo with their cousin, Brady.

Kyle and Ryan enjoy Deike Park in Huntley. This park is like a mini amusement park. The "choo choo" is their favorite.

The boys climbed up to get yummy apples from the apple orchard!

All Seasons

Today I took the boys to All Seasons Farm to pick apples with my brother, John. We ended up feeding animals at the petting zoo, jumping on a big air pillow, posing on tractors, taking a tractor ride to the apple orchard, and picking apples. Here are a few pictures of this beautiful day! More to follow from orchard.

Last Bit of Fun!

We headed to Lambs Farm on our last summer day! It was about 95 degrees and there wasn't a tree to be found, but that didn't stop the boys from having fun. They enjoyed the train around the park, merry-go-round, cow jump, and mini golf more than the actual animals (they were pretty slow due to the heat).

Ryan and Kyle enjoyed the afternoon with Grandpa, Grandma Julie, and Uncle "Jet" (Jeff) while I got my hair cut! They played at the park, went for a walk, hit golf balls, and put coins in Uncle Jeff's railroad piggy bank!

Truck Show

The boys had a great time at the St. Charles Big Truck Show. The garbage truck, school bus, fire truck, crane, and tractors were the boys favorites.
