In October, we headed north to Door County for a fun weekend with the twins' Grandma Steffie. Door County has been a very special place to the twins' Papa's family for many generations. We were able to share some fun memories with the twins during the weekend getaway, starting with a visit to the 'Yum Yum Tree', a candy and ice cream shoppe in Baileys Harbor.
 |
| Actin' like two kids in a candy store! |
 |
| And yes, both candy and ice cream were consumed!! |
 |
| Did you know they make gummy frogs?!? |
 |
| Ok, now for the ice cream!! |
On a dreary afternoon, we took a Door County trolley tour.
 |
| All aboard!! |
 |
| We visited a few prime lookouts... |
 |
| ...and the views were fantastic!! |
 |
| At least these two thought so |
 |
| Thanks to the trolley bus driver for taking this family photo! |
On a more pleasant afternoon, we made our way to the 'Dairy View Corn Maze'.
 |
| Of course, we had to stop to ride the tractor first! |
 |
| These two weren't afraid of the scarecrow... |
 |
| ...but they were fixin' to get lost! |
 |
| Luckily, Grandma Steffie was there to help keep us on track... |
 |
| ...and take photos while we were lost! |
 |
| Before heading home, we took some nice photos in front of a special tree outside of a very special place |
 |
| We were thankful to experience such a fun family weekend in Door County! |
Sadly, there won't be any pumpkin patch photos this year. The twins went back to Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch with their preschool classes, so we decided to take this year off. Thankfully, their teachers helped us out to maintain the 'how tall this fall' photo opp!
 |
| The very first photo...now a classic!! |
 |
| This was last year... |
 |
| ...and this was this fall...breaking the 3 foot mark! |
No fall would be complete without Halloween!
 |
| Which these two enjoyed immensely this year...could be due to the candy! |
 |
| Not sure we will will ever be able to top last year's costumes... |
 |
| ...but we tried (perhaps a 180 degree shift from last year) and the twins dressed up as super heroes this year!! |
 |
| DC and Marvel comic characters unite!! |
 |
| Daddy had a 'super' time dressing up with these two! |
 |
| The twins had a great time trick or treating on Clark Street in Andersonville... |
 |
| ...where the achieved goal was to obtain lots of candy!! |
 |
| Not sure if the kids or the parents were happier with this pit stop at the pub!! |
 |
| We closed on our new house the day before Halloween so we decided to trick or treat in our new neighborhood (we still aren't sure why Luke required the hat for his outfit?!?) |
 |
| Not bad for two rookies...they did a great job of ringing doorbells, collecting candy, and saying thanks! |
 |
| It was another 'super' fun Halloween with these two! |
