Grandma & Grandpa Capwell Visit






Grandma and Grandpa Capwell came to visit this past weekend (October 21-24). We had a lot of fun while they were here. On Saturday afternoon we went to the Fleitz Pumpkin Farm in Oregon (http://www.fleitzpumpkinfarm.com/). As you can see from the pictures Syd had a ball while we were there. Her favorite part was being at the top of the Hay Mountain. Although she loved the hayride, the maze, and the chickens and goats as well. We finished our trip there with apple cider and hotdogs from the snack bar. We left with one big pumpkin and many little ones (Syd picked them out and if we hadn't stopped her she would have gotten 20 of them). After the pumpkin farm we went to Maumee Bay to see the beach and water. It was a relativley nice day, except for a little wind. You can see from the pictures that there was plenty of sun. Zack and Syd had a ball playing near the water. They also wrote big words in the sand.

Monday, Syd started her soccer class. Audrey from next door is in the class as well. They were so cute together. They were very excited to see each other there and screamed each other's names in joy. During one of the exercises, they were standing next to each other holding hands. It was very cute and I'm wondering now why I didn't get a picture. What a missed photo op. I'll have to take pictures at next week's class and post them. The rest of the week was good as well. Syd had gymnastics on Wednesday, Family Night was last night at Syd's school (it was a potluck and we got to see tons of artwork and hang out - Zack missed it because he had his first guitar lesson), and tomorrow Syd has swimming and we are going to Grandma & Grandpa Burns house for a Halloween Bash with Aunt Shana, Uncle Derek, and cousin Zane. It should be lots of fun.

That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll have plenty more next week.
