A couple of weekends ago Keesha's parents came up to visit and we all took a trip out to The Pumpkin Barn here in Xenia.  The kids got to pet some rabbits and they each got to pick out a pumpkin.

 One of the many things I like about Sugarcreek Metro Park is the natural play area for kids.  Kenton and Emery both enjoy this area.

Emery really liked this natural chair.

Kallen is awake and enjoying the walk.

 A couple of weeks ago all five of us went on a hike at Sugar Creek Metropark in Dayton.  It was just a little cool, but the sun kept things comfortable.  Kenton and Emery started things off by looking at the map and deciding which paths we were going to take.

 Here are some pics from Kenton's swim lessons.  He has gotten to the place that he really enjoys being in the water.  He decided to jump off the high dive.  I wasn't able to get a picture of him when he actually jumped off, but I did get some "preparing to jump" pictures.

 This fall, Emery is taking swim  lessons for the first time.  She seems to really like it and is excited about signing up to take another rounds of lessons.

 A couple of weeks ago we had one of those days where the kids REALLY needed to get outside for a few minutes, but it was raining.  Since the temp was in the upper sixties, we let them go out and play in the rain.  They had a great time and they didn't even melt!

 On October 13, Emery's preschool had their annual open house program.  The theme this year was "A Beach Bash".  The kids had great time wearing their beachy or Hawaiian clothing and singing for their friends and family.  Kenton and Kallen enjoyed watching their sister preform.

 The last few weeks we have gotten to take several walks with the decent weather.  Kenton really likes to push the stroller if Emery is not on the walk with us.  On this particular walk, Emery and I were doing something else, so it was only the K's (Keesha, Kenton, & Kallen).

 Kenton is a terrific big brother.  He likes helping out with Kallen, but every time she needs a diaper change he seems to disappear!  One of his favorite activities to do with Kallen is to feed her.

 Here are some more pictures from our trip to the Cincinnati Museum Center.  The ball area in the Children's Museum is always one of the biggest hits with our kids!

Kallen found a perfect spot to take a nap!

Emery decided it was a little small and a little too hard for her!

 We took advantage of Kenton's days off from school to head to the Cincinnati Museum Center.  It was nice for Keesha to get to go with us during the week.  As always we had lots of fun at the museum.

 Here are a few more pics from our hike at Sarah Arnovitz.  Bridges are always great fun!

 Here are some more pictures from our hike last week at Sarah Arnovitz park.  One of the things the kids like about this hike is that there is a place where you can stop and throw rocks and sticks into the creek.
