KURTZ'S PUMPKIN PATCH  The kids attended "Pumpkin School" to learn all about pumpkins.   Trying to find the perfect pumpkin.  We tried to get a group photo. It didn't turn out the best. 😂 METEA PARK  I wasn't selected to go on this field trip, but another mom sent me some photos from the morning at the park. Lucy was nervous to go without me, but she was brave and have such a fun time!   Walking with her friend.   Class picture with Mrs. Lawson.  BOTANICAL GARDENS  Curt took Lucy on this field trip. The Botanical Gardens were decorated for Christmas. This is a classic Lucy pose and smile. 😀 There is a fun slide at the gardens that the kids had fun playing on. 

Last year we visited Klackle's Orchard during our October Grand Rapids visit. It was so fun we planned it again this year. The weather was pretty chilly this year, but we still had a fun time!   Cousins waiting for donuts.  Yum! Ben picked a chocolate cherry donut.   Moo!   Lucy, Molly, and Kaya got their faces painted.   Sarah, me, and Ashley Going for a ride!  We rode the wagon out to the orchard to pick apples.   Ashley and Matt  Sarah, Joe, and Kaya  Paul, Caleb, Mya, Molly, and Emma  Grandma and Gramps with all the grandkids.   Sarah making a new friend.   Emma took Lucy for a ride.   Kaya and Molly  We stopped by and saw Matt and Ashley's finished house. I looks beautiful!   We walked over and saw my parent's house too. It is just a short walk from Matt and Ashley's house in Pierson...

I am WAAAAY behind on blogging, but I'm trying to catch up a bit because I like to look back over the years and see what was going on like a scrapbook. We made so many great memories in the fall!   Ben started 3 grade! His teacher this year is Mrs. Spencer. He's really enjoying the year so far!  Silly kiddos!   Grandma and Gramps came to visit and watch one of Ben's soccer games.  Lucy loved hanging out with her friend Norah at the games.   My sweet girl started preschool. She is in a Pre-K class and goes M-Th from 9-12. Her teacher is Mrs. Lawson. She's made many new friends and loves going to school.   More visits to the zoo!   Grandma and Pop came to visit and brought Peyton with them. They watched Ben play soccer, went golfing, and went to the zoo!   Ben and his best friend Evan. They play on the same soccer team every year because their dads coach together.  ...
