This week we started in the 70’s then it dropped into the
50’s. I really dislike how Iowa weather can change so drastically. This week
was the usual school, taekwondo, and Mark has been in the field harvesting. I
take the suppers out every other night and Karen the opposite. Mark also has had some late nights of
watching the corn dryer and moving corn. That means many lost hours of sleep for
him. He is a hard working farmer. That is why when the corn prices drop it is
that much harder. Tuesday we went to the Apple Orchard in Cambridge. It has become a tradition each year with Carina, Alivia, and Alice. The weather was wonderful and we did not have to rush. Carina even pulled Alivia out of school a little early so we could enjoy the afternoon their. Jacob fell in love with the little goats. He has such a soft spot for animals. We did go karts, the giant slide, jumpy pillow, hayride, and corn maze to name a few activities.
This week the Buhr's came out to the farm. The girls enjoyed seeing the horses and visiting. Little miss Abigail is getting so big and starting to really walk. She is adorable and at such a fun age. As a blended family, they are enjoying their baby girl and cherish her every moment. Dan rode in the combine and trucks with Mark. I think he would have loved to stay all day if he had the time.
On the 15th Wade and Carina had their annual pumpkin party. Each year they have lunch, games, haunted forest, hay rides, and pumpkin carving. They go to so much work to put it on with decorations and set up. It is always a lot of fun for the kids.
