Autumn Update

Of all the things pregnancy could rob me of the energy for, I wouldn't think typing up a blog would be one of them. But here is my long delayed and exceedingly lazy post of various activities we've been up to this fall.

To be clear, Fall in Arizona is basically Summer everywhere else. Seasons here go as following: January-March are Spring, April-May are Summer, June-August are Hell, September-November is Summer again, December is Fall.

For Labor Day we opted to head into the mountains and go on a little hike. Once we got up to 8,000 ft it was in the low 70's and very pleasant.

Paul pretty much wanted to stop on every log or stump take a picture. At least he was willing to smile!

Paul took one look at the chair lift running and desperately wanted to go on the "big swings." We decided to get tickets as long as Paul agreed to sit very still and let Daddy hold onto him.

We also found a spot on the little creek where Paul could wade in and get his feet freezing and wet.

Paul walked about 2 miles on his own, I've been trying to build up his stamina so far that is as much walking as his little legs can handle.

This month Grandma Karen came for a visit. We took her to Buckalew Farms to pick pumpkins and sweat our way through a few fun activities:

Rubber Ducky racing...

Petting and feeding farm animals.

Corn Maze

Paul went down this little zip line with Daddy's help.

Paul is so excited to have pumpkins.

 Taking Grandma to the airport was not Paul's favorite part of the visit, we took some of the sting off by taking him the Rainforest Cafe.

We got to sit by the Elephants, Paul's favorite!
