Thanksgiving and a Kitten

Catching up on some light reading on the way to Nana and Papa's house

Austin was looking for all the cool semi trucks and construction vehicles

20 minutes after we left it was a very quiet car ride!

The Krajenke's @ Nana and Papa's house

The boys had a ton of fun playing outside & zooming down the driveway on the 4 wheelers

Turkey Time

Austin playing with Lilly & Nathen

Connor & Blondie

Austin just wanted to lay down and pet her all day. She has the loudest purr I've ever heard:)

Almost bed time & Connor still wants to play!

Allen & Blondie (she loves him!)

I know can you believe it....me with any kind of animal?!!

Halloween, Cup Stacking, & Glow Sticks

Carving & Decorating our pumpkins (Connor's dog pumpkin)

Austin trying to get all the "guts" out of the pumpkin

Ta - Da!

The best looking boys at the school Halloween party

Ready for the Halloween parade

Grandpa going trick-or-treating with the boys. Austin & Connor made sure to bring a mask for Grandpa to wear:)

Austin loved helping pass out candy to all the trick-or-treater's

I was cleaning up breakfast one morning and Connor decided to take all the plastic cups out of the pantry. I walk into the living room a few minutes later to see Connor handing the cups to Austin one by one and Austin stacking the cups to make this tower!

The finished product! So cool!

The boys in their "Glow" bath. I threw some glow sticks in the bath tub and they thought it was awesome. After bath they turned all the lights off in the house and ran around with the glow sticks the rest of the night.

Day at the Fire Station

Austin trying out the fire hose...it was awesome!

Little Man taking down some flames

Austin drew a fire picture for the firefighters and they hung it up in the firehouse:)
He was so happy!

Connor refused to put his face in the cutout

My big firefighter!

Austin giving his drawing to a firefighter (then he practiced his stop, drop and roll technique with him!)

Hanging out in the bounce house, it was a great day together!

Mackinaw Vacation

The boys checking out the view from our hotel room when we first arrived

Taking a tour of the retired coast guard ice cutter ship...thumbs up from Austin:)

Austin thought this ship was so cool!

Big fish tank at Mackinaw Crossings

Both boys had tons of fun at the park at Mackinaw Crossings

The water was so shallow that we were able to walk out really far in the lake...and yes that's me in my cover-up, I do have a suit on underneath:)

My 3 boys

Austin on his way to build some castles

Connor sat in this hole Daddy dug for him most of the day!

Saturday was so rainy but we decided to head to the Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park to do some hiking and check out the saw mill demonstrations. It was one of the best days of our trip.

Hiking with the little man.

Playing at the park at Mill Creek

Connor taking a rest at the visitors center at Mill Creek (that's his "say cheese" face)

Connor's new toy pet hamster, who he named Sassy Butt!

Yum!

How can you not love those two?:)

Playing putt putt on the rainy Saturday. The boys were so excited about it they practically ran through the course and were so surprised when we were finished they started crying!

The ferry ride to Mackinaw Island

Tasting some fudge

Talking to some soldiers at the children's quarters at the Fort

Austin was so proud of himself that he could climb all the way up and down this pile of rocks by himself!

Austin's new rifle he got at a stop on our carriage ride around the island.

Someone got tuckered out!

Austin and a soldier at the Fort...Austin was so excited to see "real" soldiers!
