Halloween and Pittsburgh

Happy fall to my fellow readers! We'll start off with our annual trip to Wiards Orchard. We spent a few hours taking in the sights and sounds of fall. We fed the animals from an ice cream cone.Dad and I played a few rounds of mini golf. My favorite!And of course our usual hay ride through The Valley of the Lost.Sissy and I took a load off by some pumpkins.After a few other activities, it was time to find our perfect pumpkins.The next afternoon Mommy and Daddy carved our pumpkins.On Monday, October 25th, Brynn was 8 months old.October 28th was my Halloween party at school. Daddy came to school and joined in the fun with me. We played several games and then had music class.The next evening, Mommy and Daddy took us trick-or-treating in Milan. Brynn was a ladybug and I was an Air Force pilot.Brynn fell asleep during our trick-or-treat.On Friday, November 5th, we took a trip to Pittsburgh, PA to meet up with Uncle Josh, Aunt Maria and cousin Marlee. Welcome to Pittsburgh!We got to stay at the Embassy Suites for 2 nights. We went swimming every day and even took a trip to the Childrens Hands on Museum. They had some really cool exhibits. The first thing we saw was Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Mommy loved the puppets.I got to sit on his couch and see his famous shoes and sweaters.You could climb in a castle and open doors to see a surprise.This was a really cool sand wheel that you could spin and watch the sand fall.My favorite was their new All About Air exhibit. I got to put on these cool goggles and climb inside a wind tunnel. They let us throw things around and watch them fly.I also got to dress up like a pilot.Here I am playing with trains.Brynn had a good time playing on the floor with toys too!On the third floor was a giant water exhibit. They had huge water tables and an area where you could put tubes together to make a water line.Aunt Maria would read us night time stories.Here is Brynn with Uncle Josh.Here are the princesses, Marlee and Brynn.My beautiful sissy.Here are the Larson cousins by the beautiful waterfall and fish.Me and my sis.Uncle Josh, Aunt Maria and cousin Marlee sitting by the fish.Here is my family :)We had a great weekend and hopefully can do it again!
I have two more weeks left of tumbling and then we will head to Iowa for Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to spending time with my family and eating some great food. I will leave you with a picture of Brynn and I playing with our fridge letters and a few of Brynn. She is learning to crawl and is cutting her top two teeth :) She will definitely be enjoying Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Love and hugs,

Luke William and Brynn Elyse
