Leaves, Tractors, and Crazy Bounce

This has been such a beautiful fall. I just love the changing of the trees, the cooler (but not too cold) temperatures, pumpkins, apples, candy corn, and oh so much more! I know that Eric likes this weather, too, but maybe not as much as I do, considering I get to enjoy the beauty of the leaves and he gets to rake and vacuum them up! There have been numerous days where Grant and I have ventured outside and put leaf piles together to jump in. Aside from the mosquitoes that seemed to infest the pile on occasion, we had a great time.

Fall also means harvest, and harvest means TRACTOR RIDES!! Eric's dad was working not too far from our house, so one afternoon G and I ventured out for a ride. I swear, our little boy could ride with grandpa all afternoon in that tractor. He just absolutely loves it. It is the most still that he ever sits. I had to laugh, because today when we were in the car, we drove by some corn that was still standing, and he told me he didn't see any combines. I asked him if he rode in a combine last week with Grandpa, and he said nope, he rode in a tractor (He was exactly right, because Grandpa wasn't combining last week - he was chisel plowing. Smarty pants.)
This morning Grant and I met up with our friends and went to Crazy Bounce. None of us had been there before, so I didn't quite know what to expect, but the kids had a riot. Grant wasn't a huge fan of climbing the steps to get to the top of the inflatable slides but enjoyed going down them. The kids also LOVED the ball pit and toddler area. Here are a few pics from our day:
