This is another great shot at the national forest. Fall is Jason's favorite time of year so he was just in heaven. He had been looking forward to seeing the millions of trees change since we moved here.

Fall is absolutely gorgeous here in Bloomington. There are only a couple of weeks where the leaves are really colorful so we went to Brown County State Park to get the best view.

Festival of the Falls

Last weekend there was a large Halloween festival for the kids at Cascade park. Maya went as Belle (since she really is such a princess) and Hayden went as a frog (or a toad for the two go together quite well). We ended up spending over four hours at the festival going on the hayrides, the trick-or-treat trail, getting Hayden's face painted (twice), and listening to the live music. The kids had a blast, or rather Hayden had a blast. Maya was held the majority of the time and slept the rest.

Hayden's little run is hilarious on it's own but when you throw him into a frog suit it's ten times better. I just had to share this with everyone. Make sure you turn on your volume so you can hear this frog ribbit.

Yet Another Hayride

A couple weeks ago a friend of mine invited us to a large family potluck where there was going to be a hayride. Hayden LOVES the hayrides and lucky him he has gone on four this fall. Of course he is hanging out with little girls. He sure does like the ladies!

I can't remember the name of this game that I played as a child but all you do is hit the ball and watch it wind around the pole. So simple but so enjoyable. Look at Hayden's face. What a classic!

I just love this picture of Maya! She is just such a darling little girl and such a sweetie. She is finally able to wear the hat her grandma Besecker gave her and it just looks adorable on her.
