Weekend with Family

Warning: Long post.
The girls and I went to visit my dad and my brother and family this weekend. We had a really nice visit. We love being at my dad's. The setting, the big house, and the people make for a great time. Here a few pictures I got of the girls in front of the house.

Tori had a great time taking a shower at dad's. She was singing away so I thought I would record her. She is singing a song she learned at church. It is supposed to be "I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart". However, it has become "I've got the pizza pocket blah, blah, blah, down in my heart." Too cute.

The girls so look forward to spending time with Gabriella.
My brother and his family are building a new house. Here they are standing in their new front door. On Saturday we went to one of the biggest pumpkin patches I have ever seen in my life. This is the parking lot. Emma said it was like going to the fair. The barn in the middle of the picture is the market where you buy stuff and tickets for the pumpkin patch. This is coming into the pumpkin patch. The big mast in the middle of the picture is a pirate ship that is made out of hay bales. The girls could climb in and on the ship. Emma really enjoyed jumping from hay bale to hay bale.
They had pony rides for kids. Tori thought it was pretty fun. She was pretty excited to find out that her pony's name was Sparkle, which is the name of her unicorn Webkinz at home.At this pumpkin patch was a corn maize made to this map below. The white lines are really paths through the corn. It was amazing. There were two parts. The first part was the right side of the map. Where you see the red line was a platform above the corn with a princess. We found our way through the first part without using the map. Then we entered the second part. We ended up in the castle part were the gate is and made one wrong turn after another. My brother finally realized where we were and then we began to follow the map. The path through the corn was identical to the white lines on the map. By the time we made it out we had very tired girls that were done walking.
This picture was taken from the platform in the second part. In the middle of the picture is the platform from the first part with the princess on top. Off to the right is the same barn that you can see from the parking lot. I really can't even put into words how incredible this maze was.This is my brother leading the way through the maze.
This is my nephew. We were trying to get him to look at the camera but he was more interested in myself.
After the maze, we needed a snack. Emma really wanted a caramel apple. She has had apples and caramel before, but I always have her get slices so she doesn't make a mess. She really wanted the whole thing. Here is a short video on how she feels about caramel apples now.


We had a great weekend. Here are a few more moments we want to remember from the weekend. This video is of Emma playing with Joseph. He is such a sweetie. They are both pretty darned cute.

On the way home, we stopped at a waterfall place to use the facilities. The colors of fall are gorgeous so I got my camera out and had the girls pose for me. That is all I have for now. Hope you a great weekend also.
