In the Blind

Daddy took my big sister Ellen to the hunting trailers this past weekend. She got to ride on the 4-wheeler, help with the decoys and play in the duck blind. As you can see, she was quite helpful in putting out the decoys into the water. Our cousin Charlie was there too. It was nice of him to show Ellen the "ropes" of setting up for hunting season. I think her first trip went well, I know one thing, it sure wore her out!

Work, Work, Work

Good grief! We must have the meanest parents on the block. First they make my big sister Ellen help with the yard work, then help make supper. She had to help dad with the blower and then help mom make Grandma Lo's porcupine meatballs. I tell you, while other kids are out playing we have to work. What exactly am I getting myself into?? All in all I suppose, she is having a good time.

The Great Pumpkin

Hi all. Last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch. There was a lot to do and see there. Ellen got to feed the goats, play in the "corn" box, ride a train pulled by a tractor (all by herself!) and pick out pumpkins. She tried to pick out pumpkins that were bigger than she was - a lot bigger. Silly sister. Anyway, it was really, really fun and when she got home she painted one of her pumpkins. Very pretty. I've been squirming a lot lately - it's getting pretty crowded in here but I think I'll hang out for a few more weeks.

Pony Ride!

This past weekend we went to the Louisburg Cider Fest. There was so much to do and the weather was wonderful. We had cider and apple doughnuts, and Ellen was very excited to pick out a big lolly pop. Most of all she really like riding on the pony. Her pony's name was Comanche. Very tough. She really liked it and did not want to get off. She didn't even want mom holding her on Comanche and kept pushing her hands away. Her friend Tanner was also taking his first pony ride. His pony's name was Christmas. Fall is so much fun in Kansas. We'll have to go to a pumpkin patch soon.
