Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We kicked our fall off to a great start with our annual tradition of visiting the pumpkin patch.
Woodbine Farms is owned and operated by the sweet family that knew that our Zachariah needed a forever home! We love going back to visit each year. It is a 2 hour drive from Dallas, but totally worth every mile!


They have darling red wagons and the kids absolutely LOVE lugging around each other and pumpkins all day.





The kids love love love making smores over the open fire…..


And I can’t resist this fun picture of my mini-me.

And the day would NOT have been the same without our sweet friends who I called and said “Lets go to Oklahoma! Yes! Today! In an hour!”

Happy FAll Ya’ll

Destination:Dairy Farm

One really neat thing about visiting Grandma and Grandpa is we get to see their milk delivered in a milk truck. Temps in Michigan while we were there were mid 80’s and SO refreshing!

This year we decided to go out to the diary to see where the milk came from…..

We got to feed a baby calf

Zach enjoyed chasing the chickens


Check out the real “Big Bertha”

Meet MA and PA Calder…..

And of course a trip to the diary farm is not complete without…….


Such a Fun Fun Day!

Kicking Off Summer!

“Oh Mama, wasn’t it wonderful that Nana could join us?” was what Ava had to say after our latest adventure. 
The TripleSmiles had a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the end of another school year at The Great Wolf Lodge.

I have wanted to take the kids for a while and finally had a great opportunity to go with some friends and their grandaughter whom Ava has friended lately. To say they had fun is a complete understatement, it was a BLAST.

After a long first day in the water it was time to head to the lobby in our PJS for a bed time story.

But back in our “kid cabin” no one was really ready for bed at all…….

Until…..Nana read us all a Goodnight story.

The next day was another full day in the water and sun and by the end of the day we were totally wiped out. 

While we were packing to leave, Zachariah already had visions of our next adventure in mind…..
