Happy Birthday David!

We can't believe he's 4! David had a puppet show at his birthday party. The show was great! They sang songs and put on a little play with knights and mud monsters! It was really cute. David had a Batman cake and pinata. He was so excited to celebrate. Every morning last week he asked "Is today my birthday?" as soon as he woke up.

David and Ryan take their cake eating experience VERY SERIOUSLY!

Pappy David learning about Transformers.

A cousins sleepover after the party. They were so excited. All asleep by 11 p.m. and then up bright and early to start the fun all over again.

Octoberfest

Our Octoberfest at Seven Springs ended up being a little different this year because of the snow storm. We spent a lot of time enjoying the german band and watching football in the sports bar. David and Ryan both liked the polkas and danced to the music. The singer gave Ryan some instruments to play. The whole bar was cheering him on while they were singing You Are My Sunshine.

Snacks before bedtime keep the kids entertained.

FALLing Snow

Friday morning started out with 6 inches of snow on the ground. David and Twix LOVED it. They were outside as soon as they woke up.

This was the view from our condo at Seven Springs this past weekend. It was a little different than the view we're used to in October. We felt like we should have been skiing.

Oooo, the Fun We Have

While David was at preschool this morning Ryan and I took our rugs to the laundromat. We were there about an hour and Ryan was very entertained by the carts and the big washer and dryers.

Fall Train Adventure in Hollidaysburg

We went on a train adventure last weekend. It started with a ride on a school bus to downtown Hollidaysburg. They had all kinds of kids activities and lots of treats to eat. Everyone got a spider to play with and funnel cakes.

Then we boarded the train. While we were waiting to board a group of actors put on a show explaining that there would be a wedding on board the train, but the bride was crying and telling everyone that she didn't want to get married. After that group got on the train, a group of cowboys came out and told us that the bride was in love with one of them and they would rescue her. The actors were really into their characters and the kids were really concerned about the crying bride.

The train stopped midway through our ride, and sure enough, the cowboys came shooting their guns and riding their horses up and down the train tracks. It was really cool. David loved watching them shot their guns.

We watched the bride ride away with her cowboy. ;-)

Happy Birthday Pappy Dave

We went out to Rizzo's for Pappy Dave's birthday last week and then to the Meadows for ice cream. We found these sticky mustaches in toy machines. All the kids had fun trying to look just like Pappy Dave on his birthday.

Yummy Apples, Spooky Corn Maze

We went on an afternoon hayride with the Mother's and More group. It was a lot of fun. There was a really spooky corn maze, with spooky music and all sorts of scary aliens and ghosts. David LOVED it until we came upon the "Bath of Blood". It was an old bathtub with red water running into it.

David was terrified. He ran right over to Ryan (who wasn't afraid at all and was actually walking closer to see it). David grabbed Ryan's hand and demanded that we leave RIGHT NOW!

They both got to pick apples and pumpkins from the patch. It was a fun afternoon.
