Pumpkin Patch Magic

The Storm crew made their annual trip to the pumpkin patch this October.

This year we went to Auburn Homestead.

How cute is this truck?

We bounced!

Gotta love the warnings on the jumping pad. Haha!

We picked out our pumpkins.

Leo had the best time zipping down this slide.

All of the big kids honed their sling shot skills. 

Leo enjoyed cruising around behind the tractor.

Lucy learned that throwing a lasso was actually quite difficult!

Nothing better than jumping in the corn pit.

There were plenty of shooting opportunities... 

Including a pumpkin cannon.

Leo was not quite as tall as a corn cob this year.

We met all kinds of critters on the farm.

These donkeys were eager to greet the kiddos.

There were some highly trained chickens. ;)

The kids saw this sign and went bananas! Everyone wanted to bring this sweet lil kitty home.

I mean look at these kitty lovers!

Good thing Mom and Dad had no problem saying 'No Way!' to these children. LOL

We took a fun hayride on the property.

Look at those clouds!

It was the best afternoon.

Early October Updates

October meant more days at the diamonds!

Again - this wagon was the real MVP of the season.

Love watching our girl play softball!

Of course we celebrated the end of the softball season with some frozen treats from the concession stands.

Back at the ranch Leo attempted to recreate the E.T. scene with his stuffies. Silly boy!

We wrapped up the grilling season with pork chops. Delicious!

We brought our bestest boy in for his abdominal surgery. He did great and his giant splenic mass ended up being over 7 pounds! Dang! This poor pup practically gave birth to a human baby. Seven pounds is huge for doggy who doesn't even weigh 70 pounds. 

Our kiddos checked out the Gremlins movie from the library and took car naps. 

Leo has been enjoying 4K - he usually doesn't say much about his teachers and classes but is always proud to bring home projects.

We had our annual box of Halloween cereal. Leo was so thrilled to see Count Chocula this October. ;)

We busted out our hair chalk in honor of spooky season. 

Our pup did so well during his surgery - just look at this scar! 

So happy to see him healing at home. 

Leo is always eager to check out Halloween decorations at the store. 

The worst part about the road to recovery? The dreaded cone! 

This Fall Lucy joined the Garden Club at her Middle School. She repotted and took home this fun plant. 

In other fall happenings, Lucy worked on new hairstyles and made a bunch of precious paw art with Ranger. 

The Storm children always love raiding the dress up bin in anticipation of Halloween. 

What a couple of goofballs!

We got some Halloween themed gummies for movie night - Roman especially loved the teeth.

The season changes quickly - from hot games one week to sporting stocking caps the next! 

Leo took a pause as a baseball spectator to zip over to Henry's birthday at the movies.

He had the best time at Henry's party!
