Thank You Cluffs!!

Waiting for the fire to start

We used our fire pit we got for Christmas from the Cluff's for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We roasted Marshmallows and made Smores. They were really good. And the roaster sticks are great Thanks Ron (no eyes where poked out in the making of our Smores!!).
Alyssa didn't really like her marshmallows considering she usually caught them on fire but Rylee sure enjoyed her cooking!
I have a new receipt to try next time, Banana Boats, I can't wait till this weekend!

Feeding the Ducks

We went to Berg Park to feed the ducks a couple of Sunday's ago, and found out that bread (which we have fed them every other year) is not healthy for Ducks. So don't let any Park Rangers see these pictures, cause we let Alyssa feed them the bread anyway. Next time we will remember the corn, popcorn, or chicken feed.
We had a good time anyway, it was a beautiful fall day, we took a nice long walk, fed the ducks and played pooh sticks off the bridge.

Pumpkin Patch at Sutherland Farms


We went to the Pumpkin Patch at Sutherland Farms a couple of weeks ago and we had so much fun. I can't believe I have never heard about it before.

They have this great corn pit that we had a great time burying the kids in.










They have animals for you to pet and feed (well other people were feeding them corn out of the corn pit so we did too). Alyssa thought feeding the goats was great and the goats thought so too.










They had a pumpkin shooter, Alyssa being the brave child she sometimes is wanted to do that. She did a pretty good job and probably would have hit something too if she could have kept her eyes open when she pulled the trigger.

The last event of the day, we took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and picked out our pumpkins, Alyssa would have taken everyone home if we would have let her. We had a great time and I know this will be a new fall tradition we do every year.
