Surprise Outing...

On Saturday, we pulled into the driveway after soccer right next to Mimi's vehicle. The boys were overjoyed that Mimi and Papa came to visit them. What they soon found out was that Mimi and Papa had their cousin, E, with them and they were going to have a fun Saturday together. We didn't tell the boys, so this was a huge surprise for them.

They took the kids first to Goebel Farms to pick out Pumpkins and gourds in the Pumpkin Patch. They got some very nice pumpkins for us to carve later this month and now mommy has some nice decorations like Mimi. Then it was time for lunch and guess where they went - Cracker Barrel of course! After Cracker Barrel, they headed to Angel Mounds for some kite flying on a perfectly windy day. I think the boys even flew the kite this year rather than letting Papa do all the work. After a fun afternoon of activities, they went back to Mimi and Papa's house for some downtime playing in the garage. No naps, of course since they were still on their maple syrup high!

Mommy and Daddy took advantage of the kid-free day and spent our day shopping and even getting a little Christmas shopping in. We ended up meeting up with them later that night for dinner along with their other cousin, D and her mom. We had a typical dinner with 4 kids (wild) at Pizza Hut before heading home for the evening. It ended up being a very nice Saturday of fall family fun!

Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures Mimi and Papa took....
