October (part 1)

Grandma, Aunt Jamie and Uncle Kyle came to visit over fall break. They decided to head to the zoo while Mom and Dad had a day away.

The zoo is extremely hard work, if only someone would help.

Enjoying the slide with Aunt Jamie at the zoo.

Riding the carousel.

Getting a better view of all the animals.

Racing Grandma up the hill

Picking out a pumpkin, but deciding it is much cooler to throw or roll them.

Brady thought the Apple Cider slush was pretty good.

September

Dad and Brady decided to take a father-son hike one Saturday so we packed up the hiking carrier and headed to the IMA 100 Acres.

It was kind of bright, so we had to wear our shades.

Brady's favorite exhibit was one called "Free Basket".

He thought it was great to run around the "basketball" court and climb over the arches.

Brady was much more involved this year with our annual apple picking excursion.

He had to wear his boots.

Of course the biggest news for the month was announcing that Brady would become a big brother in April 2011.

Shawnna is due April 28th, 2011 and like Brady, we won't be finding out whether Brady will be getting a little brother or sister.

Ok, so yes, it really has been like 9 months since we updated the blog, but we have a valid excuse, or at least an excuse. So, we will get caught up just in time for our next addition.

Indiana State Fair

It was extremely hot the day that we went to the fair and there weren't many animals left. But we still managed to have some fun.

Brady loved the farm setup that they had. 1st you gathered the eggs.

Then you gathered some grain to feed the cows.

But his favorite part was driving the "tractor". Mom had to have him ride the Oliver tractor like his Great Grandpa Pell had for the farm.

Of course, he couldn't reach the pedals, so he needed a little help.

July

After our mini-vacation over the 4th, the remainder of July was a little slow.

Dan drew a race track on the chalk board.

Sausage Race!!

We took in an Indians Game, taking advantage of BOGO tickets with our Zoo membership. I love the lawn seating at the Indians Stadium. Brady has such a difficult time sitting still right now. He is able to move around and play with with his cars without bothering other people.

Waving to the crowd. He can be such a ham!

4th of July

We spent 4th of July in Wisconsin. Fun Times!! We hadn't seen Kevin and Nikki since Christmas. Brady and his cousin, Adelaide were able to play together. Brady got to see his second Brewer game. We watched the Cedarburg Parade on the 4th. Then we travelled up to the Dell's for a day at Noah's Ark.
