Visit with the Buehnerkempers and Allens

This past weekend we went down to Monticello, IL to visit with Lisa, Ryan, Tanner, Nolan and Debbie and Kevin who also made the trip. It was such a nice visit. The first day we arrived, the weather was more like winter rather than fall, but we still made the most of it. We ended up going to this little apple orchard and the kids got their first real farm experience. They were able to "taste test" many different types of apples, and even pick a fresh one right off the tree! The lady, who was as nice as could be, let the chickens out of the pen so the kids could feed them. So fun! They even got to pretend to drive the big, green tractor. That night, we hung out at the Buehnerkemper's house, where Lisa, as always, was the perfect hostess! She made a delicious dinner that we couldn't get enough of! Later that night, Debbie and Kevin arrived, and we the adults all enjoyed playing a game and hanging out.

Sunday was our day for fall fun! We went to a very cute pumpkin farm where the kids each picked out their own pumkins! They were so proud and since that day, have said "hello" to them as they pass them on our front stoop. After a fun day at the pumkin farm, we headed back for some homemade chili and corn bread...YUM! Thanks for having us Buehnerkempers! It was great to see you all and we had a blast!
