Fall is not over yet...

"ARRR!" Isaac loved walking the "swamp walk" Aunt Christina created for Elijah's birthday

Abigail LOVED the Snail Juice

Tuckered out after a great date with Gramma

Abigail wouldn't touch the sludge

Isaac actually carved his own spider pumpkin...with "no help"

We took this idea from Gramma and Papa's neighbor...gotta love pumpkins and power tools

Kids throwing paper airplanes (Isaac's is the thing in the air) at the airport

Airplane museum that actually rebuilds old war planes and gets them to fly again

More Fall Fun

Our living room when Isaac and Johnny create. The pillow pile is a fort...with a CD player, books, snacks, etc,

Isaac brought home Mr. Bear from school

The brothers taking the sisters for a tractor ride

What the girls love to pick for their moms :)


"Abigail, just look at the camera and S-M-I-L-E!"

The girl fell asleep on me while I was reading a chapter book to Isaac. I know I will miss moments like these when the kids grow up.

We have not been practicing very good kitchen safety...

...or practicing good dental hygiene

Farm Addiction 2011



You can be on different sides, yet still united. :)
Ahh!!!! The scary tunnel!

My favorite moment! Isaac was comforting Abigail when she was scared to go through the tunnel.


Even though we bought our pumpkins at Al's Garden Center (for $1.49 for ANY size pumpkin), we love going to the farm. Isaac loves Lakeview Farms the best because...wait for it...the TRAINS. Surprise surprise! On Daddy's day off, we went when their was a break from the rain. It was fun.

Fall Fun with the Opfermans







Caramel Apples with Kayla


Isaac says, in response to his chocolate apple, "I do not like this. It is bitter. I like regular apples better. Gick!"

Roloff Family Farm

 There are so many farms to choose from within driving distance from our home. This time, we tried our the Roloff Farm. They are the family that was on Little People, Big World on TLC. The dad, Matt, was having a 50th birthday bash, so it was extra crowded. There were people visiting from Montana, NY, and even Canada. The TLC crew was there filming for a birthday special episode (so, if you watch the show, look for us in the crowd). :)
Who has a camel on their farm? This one, named Bethlehem, was cute, sweet and pretty clean.

Uncle Steve and the kids

Gramma graciously treated ALL of us to tractor ticket rides!!!!

Roloff home and some of their cars

Camera crew

"Two by two" animals

Matt, the dad, is very crafty...Noah's Arch

Can you see the pure joy on my son's face? Thanks again Gramma!

Really cool fort built by the Rolhoff boys and their highschool friends (no help from parents). Wow!

A pirate ship they bought for one of the kid's 8th birthday...What Chuck E. Cheese is not cool enough??? :)

Nana Roloff


Mr. Roloff built a little town with a full tunnel system underneath (the kids really wanted to go in them, but couldn't because of insurance/liability reasons)


Gramma...braces gorilla in the window

I love this llama, llama who needs a haircut to see his mama

A true velveteen rabbit...cannot even describe the softness (much softer than even a chinchilla)

Baby tiger

All smiles...she climbed to the top of the hay bale pyramid

"Hee, Hee! I got a spider to scare Papa."


The card that we made for Matt's birthday

Steve was brave with all the kids up there

The kids were trying to entertaining themselves while we waited and waited in the crowds
