Pumpkin Patch!

This morning we went to Linder Farm's pumpkin patch!  We had so much fun and my only complaint was that there weren't any shovels or anything in the corn pit, but the kids didn't seem to mind at all.  We played in the corn pit, pet the animals at the petting zoo (including the cutest little runt of a piglet), rode tractor carts and took a hayride to find the perfect pumpkin.  The best part was that all of it was included in admission!  The only thing we paid extra for was our pumpkin and of course a pony ride!

Sienna told Nick that it was the best day ever!  We all had such a fun morning and we ended it with Sienna picking out our family pumpkin.  Nick and I originally imagined something bigger but there was something awesome about our family pumpkin being the one that Sienna thought was perfect.

Exploring

We are finally starting to settle into a rhythm here and are really liking it so far.  Sienna and I have a weekly date together to the library down the street for a music and movement class and when Daddy isn't working we like to drive around and explore our new home.  
A couple of days ago Nick wanted to take us to walk around the Boise temple grounds. He picked the perfect day to do it too.  The gardeners were there and were taking out all the flowers in preparation for the winter and they were nice enough to let us take some home with us.  Sienna loves flowers and especially picking and smelling them so it was pretty much a dream come true for her!  The main guy even found two four leaf clovers for us...it really was our lucky day.
One of my favorite parts was that there are doors all over the temple with no knobs.  It was really cool.
 After we went to the temple we went exploring down to the river and threw rocks.  Another favorite pass time of Sienna.
It was such a good day exploring and finding some cool new places in our new city.
