October Events

I am still playing catch up but I am getting closer. October was another busy month. With Lee very involved in his final project for his Masters Degree as well as in, as Lee puts it, "The hardest technical school in the Army," we have still managed to have an activity almost every weekend. This has been a hard semester because Lee has spent so much time in schools, both day and night so most of Saturday was spent with the girls.

We started out the month with going to a County Emergency Preparedness Fair. We were able to gain a lot of helpful and good information to prepare ourselves for emergencies. We do have our 72 hour kits and food storage, but it is still nice to learn more that we can do. The girls had fun looking at all the fire trucks and emergency response vehicles.

Emma did not want her picture taken but the girls looked too cute not to take pictures of them. These are shirts that they got as gifts at Lee's Change of Command Ceremony in September.

I really love Sofi's smile. She is growing up to be a cute little girl, no more toddler in her at all.

We then went to the local air show, it was a small one but it was still fun. This was definitely Emma's favorite. She has always loved airplanes and had a great time there watching them fly. It was pretty windy that day and the sun was bright. Unfortunately I didn't get good pictures of the girls. Sofi had a hard time with the noise and the people but I think that she enjoyed herself. It was good experience for her.




The third weekend in October we went to Steed's Dairy Farm which is a local farm with a corn maze and play areas for the girls. They both had a great time. Sofi's favorite part was the corn pit. Instead of a sand box they had boxes filled with dry corn and she enjoyed the sensory stimulation. They also have a huge tube slide and the girls loved going down that. They went on a pony ride, the zip line and saw the animals on the farm.

Corn Box that the girls loved.

Sofi did really like the zip line you just couldn't see it on her face.
Tower Slide.

Of course we had trick-or-treating on the military installation on Friday as well as trunk-or-treat at church then trick-or-treat around the neighborhood on Monday. The girls got more than enough candy to last several months.

It has been a busy month but we added in a lot of family fun as well.
