Fun(der) Times

"Mom, what does 'der' mean? Why does Funderland have a 'der' in it?
 "Mazzy, I have no idea. But, good question!"

:::::



After the kids had there Well Child appointments we headed over to Funderland, a place with pint-sized roller coasters and fair rides for pint-sized kids.

It had come time for us to redeem a Groupon we purchased a few months back, so what better time to take the kids than after a doctor's appointment? Josh met us after work and we were able to enjoy the little amusement park with just a few other patrons on such a breezy and beautiful fall afternoon. It was really nice to follow the kids as they made their way back and forth between rides. I was in some serious need for a reconnection of some sort with my daughter. We have not been getting along as well as both of us would like. Let's just say,  like mama, like daughter. We both sure know how to be stubborn.

(I am presently working on this. In a big way.)

Anyways, back to our lovely afternoon. Josh and I enjoyed watching our two children enjoy each other. They really had a wonderful, joyful time together which pretty much made the day perfect. There's just something about spending time just the 4 of us out and about, showing the kids a good time. I want to bottle that feeling.

Here are some pics of our time...

Pieces of Fall

Sweet Potato Waffles with Candied Pecans and Maple Syrup.

Butternut Squash Soup
 (I posted the recipe here last year. This year I used apple sauce in place of apples, and added celery. I was able to make it with butternut squash from our garden, too. Booyah!)

Changing Leaves.
Halloween Decorations. Makes for some happy kids.

Allergies and Colds.  Makes for some grumpy kids.

(Just creepy. Thought I'd include it for a spooky effect.)

With Fall comes the need to hang out in our front yard, as our backyard is at "full occupancy".

 The Bees have invaded, as they do every year.
