Matthew had his last soccer game until the Spring this morning.  He is really starting to warm up to the sport and played like a little soccer all-star.  Meredith always has fun watching her big brother play and likes to "cheer" him on from the sidelines



 It is the greatest to see the two of them get along and play nice with each other :) 

 Before the game started, they were being goofballs and dancing/spinning/squating/jumping around on the field


One of the many great out-of-bound throws by Matthew 

A kick from out-of-bounds 

He runs his little heart out during the game

Critz Farm

We had perfect Fall weather this weekend so we decided to take the kids to check out Critz Farm.  We picked up our pumpkins and had a great family day.  They make their own apple cider, which was tasty.  It was interesting to see the machine that made it and to drink some of the cider right after it was made.

The slide mountain was pretty neat 



 The had unique structures for the kids to play on, such as a big boat and a train



















 Inside the haunted barn.  Meredith laughed through it and Matthew was a little scared (it didn't help that Matt helped with the scariness) but wanted to go through it again


 They have the coolest, biggest corn maze that I have ever been too.  If you fly over it the maze makes the shape of a fire truck.  There were stations to find, six total, and punch your card.  We found two.  We would have found all of them if Matt's and my arms weren't about to fall off from carrying tired children.  In retrospect, the maze should have been our first activity at the farm





 Matthew rung the bell at the tower in the maze




 Picking pumpkins

Meredith tried so hard to lift this pumpkin :)
