Fall Fun and Fort 4 Fitness

We've been enjoying the cooler temperatures (especially in the mornings) and the occasional rain!

Drew had a phase where he did this many, many times a day (he never actually went though)!
His FAVORITE thing....making coffee!!!
Last weekend we went to the Johnny Appleseed Festival.  The kids liked playing the games and if you ask Ben, he won them all!

We've been making apple chips with all the apples we picked!
This weekend Taylor and I ran in the Fort 4 Fitness races!  Taylor ran the 1.2 mile kids run and LOVED it!!!  She found a girl from her class and we ran with her the whole time and the girls never once stopped to walk!

On Saturday morning I ran my 2nd half marathon with my neighbor friends!

I had the best cheering squad!  They went around the course and saw me 3-4 times!

Apple Picking

One day last week Oma and I took the kids to Cook's Apple Orchard to pick some apples.  They had a huge amount of really good apples!  We filled up 4 bags!






 He was bound and determined he was going to pull Taylor and Ben in the wagon....it didn't happen!

Fishing

We went to one of the neighborhood ponds Friday night to fish!
Ben's catch...
Taylor caught 2!
Vladi's first time fishing!
Drew's first catch....the biggest of the night!

Happy Ben!
From these pictures you can't tell what a mess these kids have been!  Snotty noses, wheezing, fevers, coughs, etc.  Taylor missed two days of school last week, one to have her nose cauterized and allergy testing done and another because she had a horrible cough and was wheezing so much she needed  breathing treatments.  Ben is back on his "rescue" breathing treatments every 4 hours because he is wheezing and having a hard time breathing!  Hopefully we are on the mend soon!!!
