Fabulous Fall

Apparently, I'm resorting to blogging entire seasons in a single post. Sometimes that's just how life goes. We are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather and remarkable fall colors. Oh, yes -- Ohio is beautiful. Just remind me again in February.

Apple-picking...my favorite activity of the year.

The rest of the summer...

I know it's fall now, but I'm finally getting around to posting the rest of our summer pictures. Someday, I'll finally get caught up.

When we were in AZ this summer, we spent a few days in Tucson with Lafe's family. We had so much fun. We even braved the heat to check out the Tucson Zoo -- which was awesome. We actually fed a giraffe! And we loved these snuggly hippos.
Then we drove up with my family to Utah for a family reunion. While we were there, we went to a great rodeo. Stetson loved it! He spent part of the time hanging out on the fence with group of 8-year-old boys. Stetson was disappointed when he realized he didn't have a big belt buckle like the rest of the boys. I guess we'll have to make a trip to Shepler's next time we're in AZ.
At the family reunion, we hung out with all of my extended family. It was wonderful to see everyone! And Stetson and I were so proud--Lafe won the pie-eating contest! :)
