Outdoor Adventures

We have spent as much time as we can outdoors enjoying the beautiful colors and cooler weather. I just love the Fall! It will be sad to see it go soon...What do you do with a toddler all winter long???

Micah managed to get over this post and roll down the hill. He had a huge smile on his face afterward and tried to reenact his fall several more times. Crazy little boy...

Micah's Love of Hats

One of Micah's first words was HAT. It started off as a whisper that had us laughing all day long--he said it as if it were sacred. A few weeks later, he was shouting "HAT!" in a high-pitched squeal. This habit has continued for probably 3 months now.  Most evenings when Tim walks in the door, Micah's response is "DaDa!" followed by "Hat!" I think his obsession with hats comes from the fact that Tim often wears one; he must associate hats with Daddy. Whatever the reason, it is quite comical. He points and announces "Hat!" whenever we are out and he sees someone wearing one, and he spends a good portion of the day wearing Daddy's hats around the house. So to document this silly phase of my little boy's life, I have posted a few hat shots below.

yes, he is wearing two hats here. and he put them on himself.

Little Nemo

Our friends, Eric and Katie, were so kind to lend us this adorable costume for Micah. Trick-or-treating had happened the night before in Tim's parent's neighborhood so we couldn't go door-to-door, but we did have him knock on Grandma and Grandpa's door and their neighbor gave him some candy too. Micah got a lot of smiles from the neighbors and people driving by. He was pretty darn cute, don't you think? He was pretty excited about the candy in his bucket and definitely enjoyed his first tastes of candy. I'm probably not going to be able to eat candy now without him asking for some!

Pumpkins and Gourds and Corn, Oh My!

Two weeks ago we took a trip to Varner's Tree Farm to enjoy some fall activities. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had the place practically to ourselves since it was a weekday. Micah was very excited about the tractors and he even got to "ride" on one (he's really into anything with wheels right now). We successfully made it through the 2 acre corn maze- it was by far the best corn maze I have ever been in. I was totally turned around in there! Thank goodness Tim has a great sense of direction or we may have been in there for quite some time. Micah has a blast climbing around the toddler-sized hay bale maze, visiting with the "pumpkin people", and seeing some farm animals up close. A trip to Varner's will definitely be on the calendar next year.

Which way should we go?
