October Begins

The weather has changed and it feels autumnal. 
Last weekend the kids went with Grama to the Grant County Museum for their interactive day.

 Mitch was arrested (maybe should have been his sister).
They also enjoyed climbing the tree in the parking lot.
Now we are beginning to enjoy some October events, starting with a very busy weekend. I went to the Mennonite Auction in Ritzville and once again resisted the urge to buy a quilt ("mine" went for $1650!). The kids and Bryan went to the Fall Fest at Cloudview Farms and then we all spent the evening at the Orange E Carnival.

As the motto states, at Orange E, everyone is a winner! We "won" two goldfish - Cano and Lizzy - and are watching to see how long their fragile lives last in our care.
Shannon's class had their second field trip on Monday and once again Grama accompanied her. This time they went to Cloudview and ate carrots, drank cider and ran amuk.
The sheep put on a friendly show.
It's a beautiful season and, while we miss our Hermiston and Stanfield friends, we are delighted not to be running the Booster Club Steak Feed and Auction this month!! Bring on October!
