Friday Afternoon in Review

Friday afternoon the boys and I decided to have our annual car inspection/visit the nearby farm market afternoon.....this is our second year. It was a perfect fall day....we dropped the car off and headed down the busy road. The boys decided to jog......

......they had to stop and pose for a picture with Uncle Sam riding a very patriotic reindeer.

I have a thing for flowers......the mums were beautiful. Last year, the straw maze was set up as well....this year, we missed it by one day. The family who owns this little market is so friendly....the place is adorable. We were bummed about missing the maze, but still investigated everything else.

They had fun smelling and viewing the different type of bark on display.

It was a quick and fun adventure....we picked up our car and headed back home. We were all pretty excited.....G was on his way home from another long week away. Upon arriving home, the boys always ask us to stop at the top of the driveway so that they can race us to our house. I love that little habit.....and I love our "annual fall car inspection day" together. It's a simple thing.....the sweetest things usually are just that....simple.

I love these fun simple things with family!
If my kids decided to jog, they'd just have to let me walk along behind. No jogging for me. : )

Oh, my kids LOVE going "thrifting" as we call it at flea markets. LOVE IT! We used to do it once a week, and now it's been YEARS since we last did.

Great pics and the boys do look like they're loving that weather!

That is the cutest little story in America. Do they win when they race you? I hope so!

Looks like a fun day. There was definitely one child out in front! I'm guessing he won. :o)
