Character Day and Young Authors

Friday was Character Day at school. All the kids came dressed up as their favorite character in one of their books. Wes has always loved his 20 or more Tonka books, so his costume was easy. The morning carpool to school with Coby and Micah!

There was an optional project of writing a book. Wes wrote a book about T-rexes!
Mrs. Weed (Mary Poppins) was passing out the awards for the books.

Outstanding Educational Writing

Wes with Noble and Clay!

Circus

Sunday afternoon we headed to the circus. We meet up with Papa, Nana, Kelli, and Brandon! Wes absolutely loved it! When we ask him what his favorite part was he listed everything!

They had a ton of tigers in the cage and one huge lion!

I didn't enjoy this part of the show at all! It was very stressful to me. No nets or foam at all under these guys! Thankfully the only time one of them lost his balance he was the only one up there and he caught the rope! Yikes!

Lots of good elephant tricks

It was a good time for all! Glad we went!

Fall Fun at Sweet Berry Farm

For several years Wes and I have gone to Sweet Berry Farm twice a year to pick strawberries and blackberries, but we've never made it for their fall activities! What fun! We started with the Kids' Maze! Super, extra sweet fun is how we describe many things with Wes, and that's how the maze was! He really loved running through the grain field!Our extra sweet farmer!
We then headed to the hayride! Very dusty and thankfully a short ride. We were then off to feed the goats! Wes liked feeding the little ones!

Time to paint a pumpkin!

Wes said his favorite thing of the day was making a scarecrow!

Here he is helping stuff!

Wes by his scarecrow and painted pumpkin!

It's time to go home! We have an hour drive and Mr. Scarecrow has a ton of hay in him! Our noses didn't start running til we were pretty close to home!

Mr. Scarecrow's new home on our front porch!

Fire Station

Wes's class went to the fire station this week as they are studying community helpers. The kids acted great and learned so much. While we were there they did get an emergency call that required the EMS truck to leave. It was good, because they could see the truck rushing off but the field trip didn't have to be shortened due to everyone leaving. I'd like to share one of our family's traditions that involves firemen, EMS, and the police. Anytime we see an emergeny vehicle with it's lights on, we immediately pray for the people involved and the workers who are helping them. I do hope that if you don't already do this, you will start.

Wes was very proud that he sprayed the water the highest.
