Nana and Poppy's Visit

My parents were just here for nine days.  It was so good to see them and so good for the kids to have some Nana and Poppy time   We did lots of fun things with the kids--Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm, the Children's Museum, the park, a fall hike,  and lots of special treats.  In between, they entertained my fantasies of eradicating my "to do" list (ha!).  Loved having them. 

Goebbert's

Pony rides.  Unfortunately, Ava was too distracted by the haunted house adjacent to this to enjoy it.  :(

Hiking at Deer Grove Forest Preserve.

Took advantage of my Dad's presence to actually be in a picture.  :)

Motorcycle chick.  :)

"Playing chess" with Poppy at Oberweis Dairy.

She has him stumped!

Tee hee!

Hmmmm...

A balloon for the boy!
