Arboretum with Madelyn's Friends

We all got together from Infant Massage and had a great time at the Arboretum.  The girls are really active now that I wasn't successful in getting a picture of all 5 of them (Annabel was missing).  Eliza and Madelyn got to ride together on our way there. They had a great time watching each other and rocking out to Music Together songs. 

Picnic time--It wasn't too bad in the sun.

Halloween!

Madelyn was a double-scooped ice cream cone for Halloween. We picked her up at school where she was dressed up and able to trick or treat at each classroom.  Then we went trick or treating with Juliana and Connor. Madelyn enjoyed the night. She mostly liked walking between houses and seeing all the kids in costumes which she did at her own pace.  Juliana informed us she was too slow but when Madelyn was trying to keep up, she took a spill. She didn't let it bother her and kept on trick-or-treating.  It wasn't until the next day that we realized how scraped up her hand was. Juliana was the Pinkalious character from the book and Connor was a dinosaur. When we got home, Madelyn also liked opening the door for trick-or-treaters but tired of that after a few times!

Pumpkin Farms!

Brian took Madelyn to a small "farm" which was actually just in a parking lot but they had fun doing crafts and petting animals. Later that day we went to a big farm (Abbey Farms) with Juliana and Connor, Madelyn's cousins and her Grandpa Giese!  It was so much fun.  The kids loved sitting on trackers (Connor the most!)  Madelyn loved being pushed around on the tricycle.  We also did a children's corn maze which Madelyn had fun running through. To our surprise, Madelyn LOVED the air inflated bouncy thing. She didn't want to leave and had a ball jumping although sometimes she just laid down and soaked it in.  We also did a hay ride.
