This weekend:

High School Musical 3

Caramel apples

Little Big Planet (for Jesse)

Pumpkin Carving

Corn Maze

How difficult could a corn maze be, you might ask? Apparently for our family the answer is "very." Todd ended up looking up Google maps on his Blackberry but even that didn't help us.

Finally, we just embraced our specialness, dubbed ourselves "Team Differently-Abled" and even had a team cheer.

It surely was pretty out there.

I just love the fall! And those caramel apples look delicious!

[this is good]

I love reading about the great adventures you have with your kids. They're going to have so many memories!

Also, it amazes me just about every time how much Jesse looks like you. It really shows in these photos, too.

[this is good]

Wow, would you be offended if I swiped those farm pictures to make a collage? Better yet, would you be willing to email them to me? Pretty please?

I'm jealous. I want caramel apples too. And a hay ride. (But not wandering through a corn maze; those things are scary.)

[esto es genial]

it appears you did in fact make this weekend sup-air.

I love the fall too! Apples, pumpkins, and corn, trick-or-treating, Thanksgiving, changing leaves -- ah! the list is endless.

Thanks ursula! Yes, my kids will have many memories backed up by 100's of photos :)

It's true, Jesse and I are so alike - people often comment on it. So is my sister's boy, Jude. He and Jesse are so alike that when they're in profile it's hard to tell who's who.

If you think corn mazes are scary, you'd have been down-right terrified going through with our family! :)

Hee hee - told you! :)

Once again, your photos amaze and inspire me. You have such an artistic eye. And it helps that your kids are great! Mine are always sticking out their tongues or making goofy poses whenever they see the camera in my possession.

Thank you very much :) And my kids are so used to having a camera stuck in their face on a daily basis that I think they probably don't notice it much anymore. You have to desensitize them :)

awww, what great pics! seriously, your kids have the best childhood EVER.

dude, i would be terrified to get lost in a corn maze. i hate being lost. i have a terrible sense of direction.

[this is good]

Wonderful photos, Hannnah!! Is it me, or are you REALLY getting to be an excellent photographer?? (Maybe you always have been, but now I'm just recognizing it...)

Also, gmaps in a corn maze I believe is against the spirit of the activity... ;)

Oh, believe me, we were more lost than a...lost, lost thing. You were supposed to punch your map at 14 different stations. We found one station. ONE!

I think it's just you ;) Seriously, thanks for the compliment. I am trying to improve my photography, slowly but surely.

And as for the spirit of the activity, we were all about the spirit of survival. (See above comment to Grace.) It didn't work anyway :)
