Fun Times...



The trees are changing and the weather is beautiful. There are so many things to do here.
We went to a tree place this week....THE MORTON ARBORETUM....

They had acres of trees and gardens to explore...
We went with Joel, he had trees to climb and mazes to explore.


Around the lake they had scarecrows...lots of scarecrows in Illinois...


Sunday after church we went to a small petting zoo.
JohnMark could not resist rolling in the hay...
Petting the horses....
they had a pumpkin patch....each one took time to pick the perfect one...


Once home Sierra and JohnMark decided to carve their pumpkins.



Finished pumpkins were pretty cool....
I think one of the best parts was grandpa's seeds...


Recipe for seeds....
clean seeds
boil in salt water for 10 mins. drain
coat the bottom of pan with olive oil
spread seeds in layer across pan
sprinkle with season salt
bake 350 for around 30mins.until toasty brown
stir at least once
ENJOY...
