Mama heard about a farm in Talent that we could go to, so she bought us tickets to go with our friends on a sunny afternoon. They had a corn maze, cow train and some farm animals we could see. We gobbled at the turkeys and they gobbled back, it was so silly. We had a picnic lunch that our mama's packed and then Demian and I played tag while the girls collected acorns. A couple of days later, daddy left to go deer hunting. We helped mama with a big project on our living room wall. First we cut the boards all different lengths, then arranged them on the patio to see how we wanted them on the wall. Papa and grandma came down the next day to help. Grandma played in the treehouse with us while papa and mama hung the boards on the wall. The next day, Bella and I finished the wall off with making and hanging shelves on the wall. Daddy got a deer and he and mama cut up the meat and canned it. Lala came to visit for a few days and we had fun with her. We went to Coach Matt and Leslee's wedding and had a great time playing outside and dancing! We have been reading after school every afternoon in the treehouse and my reading level went up an entire grade level. My parents and teacher are so proud of me. I think our treehouse is magic:) We went for hunt behind the house, mama for a deer and daddy for a bear. No luck, but we all made it to the top of the ridge, it was a big climb.We also met the Hill's at the park to go fishing in the river. Lucas was the only one that caught a fish, but it was lots of fun!

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch and it was a beautiful farm. We almost got lost in the corn maze, but the cow train was my favorite. Aven and I had fun finding acorns and smashing them open. We were big helpers for mama while daddy was gone and my reading is getting lots better too. When Papa and grandma came down, we watched a movie on a projector on the back patio, then again the next weekend with the Hill's and the Wieking's. We wrote thank you letters to the firefighters at school and we got to deliver them to the fire stations when daddy got home. We are still getting lots of veggies from the garden and I helped mama dry a bunch of herbs for cooking. Our adventure hunt behind the house was fun and daddy couldn't believe I made it all the way to the top without a complaint. Gymnastics is still going great, but I want to continue going just once a week instead of 2. I played babies with lala and even got her to go on the zip line with me. I went along to wrestling when mama worked late and had fun jumping on the trampoline with some boys there. I loved going to Coach Matt's wedding too!
