Babysitting... or having house guests...

We got to spend time on Saturday with Logan, Liam and Zoey... Liam and Logan were here for a sleep over... we were so busy every minute that I didn't have time to take any pictures... bad Nana! We did enjoy several things tho and Papa learned something about Zoey... when she wants to eat you don't start making dinner... dinner better be done when she is ready to eat...We have the old high chair from Great grandma's and Zoey knows that is where she eats and so when she goes to it... she wants to eat NOW!... We did get all three of the kids fed as well as Nana and Papa... then we had a diaper to change but it was a bit messy so we put Logan in the tub and then of course Liam had to jump in... before we put him in tho we had to change the water. Not wanting to be left out Zoey wanted in... she didn't last long with all of the splashing tho...... before she got in tho she ripped a big chunk of toilet paper off the roll...not sure how...but we did have fun...
Then with everyone in pj's Papa put up all of the pack and plays... Liam thought that would be a fun place to play... so in went all of the covers, pillows toys and of course Liam... he stayed in there for almost the whole time... he did jump out for a snack... Logan meanwhile played with Zoey. He also made a "comfy" bed on our coffee table... Then it was time for bed... Logan jumped in his and both boys settled in... Miss Zoey decided that she was not going to go to sleep.. before Papa left for work he took a sleeping Zoey and attempted to put her in the pack and play... she had different ideas and let us know... she fell asleep 5 separate times and woke her self up every time... so she was still going strong when Mom and Dad came to get her...
The boys did sleep in for us. Papa came home from work at 4:00 and didn't wake any boys... they slept in til about 8:00 and the we had breakfast and played... Later they went in to our bedroom and found Halloween... or rather they found my partylite houses for Halloween...
Oh yeah they found Papa and woke him up... I took a nap after they went home but I would do it again in a minute.. We love those sleep-overs... and all of the babies!

Things that we learned in Door County...

1. Road MM doesn't go to the park... even though it looks like it on the map... it goes to the end of a point where there is barely room to turn around with the trailer in tow....

2.It is cold in October on the peninsula especially at night in the camper....but the full moon was beautiful.
3. It is beautiful on the peninsula in the fall...Lots of color and contrasts... 4.There were many lighthouses...we saw quite a few of them....

Here we tried some wine but the wine tasting lady was crabby...Larry did like the pumpkin donuts...and I liked the cherry turn overs....


5.This is the style of silos ...they were really kind of neat!
6. We learned that the gas bottle that runs the furnace only lasts for about 48 hours... and if it runs out in the middle of the night it is not fun to get out from under the covers...
7. We tried lots of wine at three winery's and bought wine and drank lots of samples... Larry drank more...
8. We rode the ferry with the car to Washington Island. It was fun... on the way over we rode up stairs on the ferry... on the way back I stayed in the car... it was weird but fun... here is a light house that we saw from the ferry...
We had fun but I missed the babies...

Nelson's Apple Farm

Here are the boys waiting for Joe,Katie, Nora and Henry to get here so the fun could begin...


Here is Nora. She is wondering about the "and more" on the sign...

After we paid the fun fee... well worth the money for the kids... we headed out to start the fun! We played a little bean bag toss...


Logan decided to check out what was behind the holes...


Then it was on to the animals
And the corn tunnel...

Nora held on to Liam's hand so she could make it through... he was a good hel
Here is Logan...

Liam thought that he was done helping Nora but she had different ideas!
Next came the corn maze... here are some pictures of the maze... after everyone was done or at least half way done they found out it was a mile and 1/half...



There was a fun wagon ride...



Liam took a cat nap...Last but not least was the pumpkin patch....


Logan picked out his favorite...


Liam liked this one...



Here is Nora with her pumpkins

And here are my pumpkins!



I don't know what Jed and Henry were worried about but they were both deep in thought...All in all it was a fun but tiring day at the farm.... see you after Door County!
