Fall Festival

We took the kids to the Fall Festival a few weeks ago and they loved it! It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful fun place to visit. It is on a farm that is actually run by the church. I imagine for canning and what not.

Zanna could have sat and stared at these chickens and little chickies the whole time we were there. She kept asking me if she could hold them. She loves animals.

There were lots of fun games for the kids to play. Throw the bean bag into the pigs mouth, hockey, basketball, giant bowling and much more. They handed out Halloween themed prizes after each game you played and gave out these cute little jack-o-lantern bags to put your treasures in.

My two men. Zanna with her bag full of treasures. My handsome fall boy.
It seems like Jathan always has someone riding on his shoulders.


Another treasure adorned around Zannas neck.

I am surprised there is a picture of me. Well actually I am not. I asked Jathan to take a pic of me and my girl. I think if I did not ask for him to take pictures my children would one day look back and wonder if I ever did anything with them :)

Oh that face. Love it.


This is about a thirty minute drive from where we live and the mountains are breathtaking. They are huge and surround you every way you look. Jathan and I would love to live out that way. It reminds us of home a little because there are lots of fields. Something you do not see very often in Alaska. Most places are so thick with trees you can't see 10 feet in front of you, which is also beautiful.


The kids playing in the truck. And yes, I think Jathan is categorized as a kid :) And thank heavens for it! He is such a good daddy. Zanna and Troop adore him. He is so playful and constantly making them giggle and run and scream.

THE END

Amazing Mountains, Incredible little Troop lips, and stunning smile of you, Merm! (: Don't you hate that? It's a little embarrassing to have to ask your hubby to take pics of you with your kids, but otherwise, at least in my house, it doesn't happen, and I'm pretty sure I"ll be bitter if I never see pics of myself with my kids when I get older!

What beautiful pictures of the mountains and fall colors but mostly of your cute family. Jathan is such a great dad and you are an adorable mommy. It brings a tear to my eyes seeing these pictrues, we are missing your family tons and tons. Love you Merm!!
