Beautiful October Day

Wow!  Wouldn't it be great if the weather would stay like today through the winter?  That would be awesome!  We can only cross our fingers I guess.  Instead of cleaning the house, we took a little time to visit a new pumpkin patch/greenhouse that just opened outside of Decorah.  We couldn't pass up on spending the day outside as much as possible.  I was looking for some yummy Honey Crisp apples but they did not have any at this pumpking patch.....hopefully next year they said. 

If you have little kids, Pinters Greenhouse/Pumpkin Patch is the place they would love on a beautiful fall day.  There are so many activities for little kids to do.  Wayne and I both commented that we know our little nephews would have loved it there.  (This is the first year we have done a "pumpkin patch trip" with my parents....sad face  :(   )  We pulled in and Wayne's first comment was, "We just need Graham and Connor".  So if you have little ones and are looking for a place that has tons of great activities for the fall, including hayrides, pumpkin patch, petting zoo, a HUGE slide, and much much more, Pinters is the place for you. 

Even though Elyse and Alex were a little too big for most of the activites there, we still had a super time and left with LOTs of pumpkins.  We did take some pictures outside sitting at Pinters landscaping area.  It was just a great day to spend with the kids and Wayne.....couldn't have been better.

Enjoy the beauty outside this week.......

Family Fun at the Pumpkin Patch in Hastings

It was been a week of memories for the Kerian family.  I thought I would back up a week and share the fun day the whole family had. Last Sunday the Kerians met up with Kim's family in Hastings, Minnesota, at the pumpkin patch.  Perfect weather and lots of things to do so it was a wonderful day!!!! We all spent some time at the petting zoo, which Graham was a little hesitate to feed the calves and it was so cute.  Then we let Graham play on the playground before taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch and back for some apple cider, caramel apples, and a balloon hat for Graham.  The start to the day couldn't have been better!  Super place to take your family on a fall day and lots to do!

Then we headed up to Minneapolis to Sara and Dereks' for some soup.  The boys prepped before heading to the Vikings game.  The Vikes were playing my dad's favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, so it was a big competetion within the family.  Of course, Alex was rubbing it in to his Papa, as well as vice versa.  Luckily, the Vikings pulled out a win so the guys had a super time....my dad was not happy how his Cowboys played, but he was pumped because the owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, was in the box seats right behind the boys at the stadium.  According to my dad, he waved his Cowboy hat at him and Jerry Jones waved back.  Highlight of the day for my dad.  :)

Fun day for the whole family!  Go Vikes!
