Soccer

Alex is playing AYSO soccer again this Fall.  We really like his coach this season.  He is great with the kids and has taught them so much.  They are truly improving every week.  The coach has made a website for the team and he posted some pictures from last Saturday's game.  The best thing about the picture is the amazing weather - watching Saturday morning soccer in shorts in Michigan at the end of September!!

Here are a few shots of Alex in action - (#4)....

Fall Fun!

Well it definitely feels like Fall in Michigan the past couple of days.  Alex and Brodie went with their cousin to the Koetsier's Fall Play Days.  It is a huge greenhouse that sets up a bunch of Fall activities for kids.  There was a variety of stations and the kids loved it.

So cute- little pedal tractors.  Definitely Brodie's favorite area!

 Painting their pumpkins - very serious work!

 We took a hayride out to the "pumpkin patch" and they all got to pick a pumpkin.  There were also animals and Fall/Halloween decorations to see on the ride.  Each child got an apple to eat and then there was an apple core target stop along the way.  Alex was thrilled to make his thru the opening.

 
A four wheeler pulled these cute little cars on the "bumblebee express".  Brodie wanted nothing to do with riding on this.

 One station was a big pumpkin inflatable filled with balloons.  Hours of fun for sure!

 Target throwing...

They had other inflatables, a little play house and a snack of popcorn, donuts and cider.   Will definitely be a new yearly tradition.
