Fall Break

On October 1st we pulled out the pumpkin/fall décor and Jacob said we were celebrating fall break.  Our neighbors put a pumpkin on their front porch and Jacob said they were also celebrating fall break. 

Since we love fall break so much, we also decided it was the perfect time to go to the zoo.  We took this opportunity to squeeze the majority of the family into a tiny train.......I acted as the designated picture taker. 

There were some wild creatures at the zoo and we couldn't believe how close these kids got to us!  We also some zebras before getting to the most important parts of the zoo (carousel and playground).

While Jacob worked off all his energy at the awesome playground, Katie and Matty played in the little kids padded (and shady) play area.

The next day of fall break, we went to Lowe's to decorate pumpkins.  Someone was so proud of her creation that she asked to have her picture taken.  Sweetest girl ever!  And look at that masterpiece.....resembled the masterpieces of the past. 

So then of course Jacob needed a picture with his creation.  While Katie was very liberal with her application of stickers, Jacob was very cautious......so reflective of their personalities. 

And not to be outdone.  Matty also applied stickers (he is advanced like that) or possibly he had help from siblings.  Only time will tell where Matty lands in his sticker application tendencies.

Also it should be noted that Hurricane Matthew hit Florida this year and simultaneously our own little Hurricanes were busy in middle TN.....with only slightly less damage.
