Melissa & Kids Visit

We were so lucky to have Melissa, Caleb, Meg, and Sam visit us at the beginning of October. We had such a wonderful time and Ella loved spending time with her cousins.

Baking sugar cookies

Ella and Sam take in an episode of Ella's favorite TV show, "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"

Ella & Caleb frost cookies

Cookie decorating. The kids made some awesome Halloween creations!


We carved and painted pumpkins that we picked out at Grandma's Pumpkin Patch. We also did the corn maze at the pumpkin patch after dark.

Check out the intensity!

Ella decorates her own pumpkin.


Check out Auntie Melissa's craftmanship!

The finished product is awesome!

Who's scarier? Daddy or the jack-o-lantern?

On the final day of their visit the temperature was 80 degrees and we took a stroll through Dow Gardens.






Peek-A-Boo!



We visited a local apple orchard to pick some apples. Ella refuses to eat apples at home, but she was thrilled to pick them right off the trees and eat them.
