3 Little Fishies

Nathan loves his music class. He comes home singing songs and I have to figure out which song he is singing. Thankfully, his music teacher, Miss Marilee, takes video of the kids during class. Here's Nathan in the 3 Little Fishies.

Big Orange Pumpkin Patch

Nathan's been excited about going to the pumpkin patch this year. He keeps saying that he wants to go on a hay ride. The weather was beautiful today, so we drove out to the country to the Big Orange Pumpkin Patch in Celina.

Feeding the Animals
There were goats, sheep, longhorn cattle and a donkey to feed. There were also some chickens and roosters walking around. Nathan loved feeding the animals. I think he would have climbed in the fence if we let him. He was not afraid of any of the animals. He wanted to pet and feed them all. I love the expressions on his face in these photos. Pure joy!








Hay Ride
With all the talk of the hay ride the week before, Nathan was actually quiet on the ride. We took a 20 minute tour around the farm. Nathan took it all in and was excited when he saw two bounce houses that we hadn't noticed earlier.





Feeding the Animals, Again!
We had one more cup of food for the animals and when we got off the hay ride that was the first thing Nathan wanted to do. We couldn't interest him in anything else until all the animal food was gone. He was even brave enough to let the goats eat out of his hand.






Bouncy Slide
Nathan loves bounce houses and he can't walk by one without bouncing. They had a bounce house and a bounce slide. Nathan chose the bounce slide.




Pumpkin Patch
We walked around the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin to bring home. The first one Nathan found was too big. The second one was just right.









Before we left, Nathan had to say Good-Bye to this baby cow.

Heard Museum

We visited the Heard Museum on free museum day. Nathan loves to be outside. We try to do as many outdoor activities as we can while the weather is beautiful.

Hiking in the Woods

Hiking is one of our family's favorite activities that we love to do together. Now that the weather has turned cooler, we have more chances to enjoy the outside.

Day at the Park

We like the park in our neighborhood. It's a wooden playground and has lots stairs and places to hide.

Books, Pizza and Games

We met Jaxon and Jessie, Nathan's cousins, at the library for story time. Then, we all went to Peter Piper's Pizza for lunch. This is one of Nathan's favorite places to eat and play right now.

First Day of Preschool

Nathan started preschool today at the catholic church near our house. He was very excited for school to start. We met his teacher, Miss Melissa, last week and Nathan was able to see his classroom.

Nathan had a great first day of school. That's what his teacher told me. Nathan was very quiet in the car on the way home. He was very tired out and quickly fell asleep on the couch once we got home.

Wiggle Play Center

Nathan celebrated his birthday with his friends at the Wiggle Play Center. He enjoyed playing with his friends and cousins in the bounce house, down the slide and climbing on the playground.

Yum! Cake!
