Carter and Ryan "worked" in the yard on Friday.
Reese and Carter raked leaves while the other kids were sleeping on Friday. Finally, when the pile was big enough, Kristy got a shot of them jumping around.
Kristy keeping warm!
Joel was kicking the ball around with the kids and didn't know his own stregth. Here he is attempting to retrieve the ball from the tree. You can't see the ball b/c it's about 10 feet further up in the branches. Rather than risk breaking a leg, we decided to leave the ball there. Leah is hoping it will blow out during the next big storm.
Tinkertoys!! This was good fun. G-ma got these for Carter's bday. Everyone joined in building some pretty cool stuff, including a water fountain by Reese and an airplane by Joel.
We went to Pattersons Fruit Farm Family Fest. It was freezing cold and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Here we are taking the tractor ride.
The kids (and dads) loved the slides through the woods.
The hay mazes were a hit. Watch out for Jeremy hiding around the corner!
Walking with the stilts is harder than it looks. I can't believe I was able to capture a shot when they were both walking at the same time.
Kristy and Elliot.
Leah, Reese, Elliot, Carter and Ryan. ....yes, we still have a VHS player and have many old Disney movies!!
The big kids holding Elliot. They were so good with him.

What cute pictures!!! (And no, I'm not just saying that because our kids are in them!) I LOVE the pictures of them on the couch holding the antique VHS tapes. Ha! :)
My kids have been talking about Carter, Leah, and Elliot ever since we left. I hope to get together more often as the kids get older as they really enjoyed playing with each other! Thanks for taking such good care of us, cooking great meals, and treating us to the Patterson Family Fun Fest. We had a blast!
Your new house and yard look absolutely amazing!!! I am so jealous. :-)
Your kiddos are SO adorable, as always. I'm glad you were able to get together, and how fun to see all of your kiddos play and get along!
