Fall in Iowa

We made a super quick trip to Cedar Falls to be part of Lucy's 4th birthday. The leaves were beautiful, the kids played together and then we were able to go to Chucky E Cheese for the birthday bash. The party was chaotic as it seemed like a small space filled with kids and adults eating and playing loud video games. At the conclusion of the party, Lucy was suppose to be put into a booth that was locked with tickets flying around for her to catch and redeem at the ticket counter. Sadly, Lucy got really scared during the process of being locked into a booth and Tagg was able to take her place and get the tickets for Lucy. Highlight of his life.

Flag Football

For the first time, Tagg wanted to play on a flag football team. He has liked it way more than we had anticipated and takes the practices/games very seriously. Tagg's coach has allowed every player the opportunity to be quarterback and today was Tagg's turn. He did a great job of listening and obeying his coach's directions. The pictures aren't great and don't show how much Tagg threw the ball but we still wanted to post a few pictures.

The pumpkin patch is always a highlight of the Fall and this year, they had added a pumpkin launcher. Obviously, this was a great addition and another way to "use" pumpkins. Mimi and Papa joined in the fun, as they typically do, even trying out the giant slide, not quite as fast as a race car....

College Friends

My good friend from Concordia College stopped by on her way to Colorado with her husband and 2 boys. While the visit was super short, only one night, we had so much fun! The kids had a great time getting reacquainted and playing video games. I was super excited to see them and hope we can do it again soon.
