October Fun Part 1

In October we were very happy to have Matt's parents come to visit. On the day they arrived we took them out for a boat ride. It was a challenge since the water was low but we enjoyed it, especially the autumn colors on the bluffs.

The next day we went to St. Louis, the Arch and the Museum for Expansion of the West. It was a beautiful day. I was able to understand the history of Lewis and Clark better and appreciate those who settled the country in its early period. The view from the arch was, of course, very impressive. Here is a pic of us all crowded into the car that took us to the top.

Here are the kids at the Museum. Eve earned her Jr Ranger badge with help from Grandpa!




Here we are leaving the arch and museum.


We finished the afternoon with the most relaxing, beautiful picnic at Forest Park.
Later in the evening, Matt and his parents took the kids to a corn maze with other fun activities. I went to Eve's parent/teacher conference. I received all positive feedback. Yay!

The next day we went to Eckerts, a apple orchard/ pumpkin patch. We loved all the activities, and the apples were so aromatic!



















What a wonderful day!
