Saturday we went to Wichita and spent the day with my parents and my brother and his family. Chris went to the John Deere Swap Meet for a couple of hours while the rest of us went to the zoo. The kids had a blast riding in the wagons and spending time together. It really is a great zoo and I think spending the day at any zoo together is a great way to spend the day. Chris met back up with us about half way through and that was a nice treat.
After the zoo we went out to eat at Olive Garden. YUM!!! Chris and I have not eaten there before and boy have we been missing out! Awesome food and awesome service. They have the most delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake ever!! I need to figure out how to make it. And we learned the secret to eating out in Wichita on a Saturday night. Take a big group and they can seat you immediately!! No date night eating out in Wichita on a weekend. There was a line of people waiting outside the whole time we were there for just groups of 2-4 people to be seated. We didn't have to wait at all, it was great!
We made it home about 10 pm and the kids were exhausted. Just a wonderful day. Thank you Jason and Tabatha and Mom and Dad for everything Saturday!!
Evan walking!! He wanted to check out the geese that came over to see what we were eating.
The grizzly bears were just getting their food. Who knew that grizzly bears ate lettuce, celery, sweet potatoes, carrots and apples? Maybe that was just the first course. I was waiting to see a fish come flying in there, but didn't happen.
The kids were pretty amazed by those big bears!
It looks like that bear is looking straight into Madi's face.
As close as we could get to all three somewhat looking in the direction of the camera!

We had a lazy day Sunday. It took most of the day to recoop from all the walking Saturday. We slept in and skipped church (oops!), kids played and Chris went out and finished discing (?) the field and getting it all ready for spring. Then we all took long naps. Woke up all recharged and ready for some trick or treating!
We stopped at 6 different places and saw some friends and family. This was the first year that we actually walked a couple blocks with Madi. She loved it!! We left Evan with my parents while we took Madi out to a couple of blocks around Mom and Dad's house. Madi was so cute, when they would answer the door and couple people would say "Oh, you are so cute!" and that just made her day. She came running back to the sidewalk, "Mama, they liked me!" She is at such a fun age anymore, it just gets better and better.
We had another late night, getting home at 10:30 and quickly taking baths and in bed. School time came awfully early this morning! I don't really care for Halloween falling on a school night. :( But, it's once a year. Now I'll spend the rest of the week hiding and rationing candy out until she forgets all about it!!
Madi was a K-State cheerleader and Evan was the football player.
Hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween!!
Love, Amy
