Love going to Parks

 We had a fun family walk to the park. I have to say that I love our family walks.  Leo is 10 months and crawling all around. He actually is starting in enjoy the park.  Evie girl is such a ham as you can see above giving me a kissin face:)

Pumpkin Patch

We have visited many pumpkin patches this October. I do love Peltzer's Farm, which is a more traditional pumpkin patch. But we have one right by our house that has lots of games and rides the kids love too.

Here is  Emery and Ada. Beautiful sisters and great friends of ours. Hopefully some day Eli will marry one:)  Mama's wishes!

 We also had a fun day with friends in Oak Glen apple farms. We presssed our own fresh apple juice. So good. The kids had a great time turning the apple press.

Below is Josh's sister Rachel and Kris. They are expecting #3! 

Joshua Tree

 Joshua Tree is an amazing nation park! We go every year with our church and this time we decided to go up and make it a family vacation. Eli loves camping and most of all hiking.  We had a blast hiking, even with baby Leo, who is 9 months. 

Below is this shot zoomed out to see how high of a rock they climbed. 

  

I was amazed at how well the kids hiked. Eli and Kadence are 4 and Evangeline and Josiah are 2 (soon to be 5 and 3). They loved jumping from one rock to another. Always wanting to try to do it themselves. They are so brave.  Which can be a little scary since they often don't know the danger that is in front of them.

 Kids were so good listening to us as we hiked. There were many cliffs, we all had a safe hike.  Eli did take a fall as you can see his band aid. It was a little traumatic for him. He cried and declared he never wants to hike again. Then 5 minutes later raved about how fun hiking was.  Gotta love it!
