LEGO Hero

Gavin got to stay the night last night! We had an awesome bonfire and stayed up late watching Star Wars. In the morning, we were off to the LEGO expo.

We raced robotic LEGO cars.

We always include Brycey.

and Addie!

Then we spent hours staring at the creations. Mom and Gavin's Mom had to remind us that grown men who spend hours and hours and thousands of dollars on LEGOs are not necessarily hero material. We weren't convinced.

For whatever reason, we decided our contribution would be a giant "MEOW" and five LEGO cats.

There you are Hancock Co.  Enjoy!

There Were Pumpkins??

Today was the day for our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Unlike years past, we were not all that impressed with the rain barrel train.

Also too cool for the monster truck.

NEVER too cool to climb giant bales of unstable stacked hay with plenty of spots to hide and have the whole thing collapse on us!

Cole decided to make it into a slide.

He made it down a few times just fine. Then another kid tried and went f l y i n g and we were all cut off.

No problem!  Plenty more to do. We always love the giant trampoline.

Every kid needs one of these in their backyard.

We could've stayed on it all day.

But we started to fight, caused a big problem and had to be removed. Sigh..

Off to take on the deadly log!

One of us got the snot knocked out of him quite a bit. One of us seems to aways be getting the snot knocked out of him...

We stood in line for ages to drive these cars. It was incredibly anticlimactic.

I found my "jack" and took him for a spin.

While Coley and Dad panned for precious gems.

A little bit of apple cider slushie.

and a quick photo to satisfy the Momparazzi before we got dragged off to get pumpkins before the place closed.
It's never dull at Lark Ranch!

Something to Remember Us By

Thanks Conner Prairie!  We sure did have a great time.

Coley wants to go back soon to actually listen and learn.  Weirdo... 

Winding Down the Day

We ended the day with a little lunch.

And a hot air balloon show!

And we met back up with Nicholas!  What a great ending to a very fun day.

Cattle Call

Did you know they let the cattle just run around wherever they wanted to go on the prairie?? 

Mom was NOT a fan of this idea and stayed as far away as possible while still keeping an eye on us.  We loved the sheep so much!

School Days of Old

Can you believe we had to go to school?!  We got RIPPED OFF!

The teacher was really strict. You really really had to raise your hand and she did not like wrong answers at all.

Just like regular school, we sat in the back and waited out the lesson until it was time to play. 

From Then to Now

Next up, we visited the coolest museum which was full of Indiana inventions!

We got to build cool stuff.

We could've worked on this machine all day.

We did our fair share of probing and poking and testing for sure.



and then I found the craziest thing! A tv. with no color, no remote and only TWO channels!?

Leave it to us to go to Conner Prairie to sit and watch t.v.  :)
