Bryson also started his first sport this fall, soccer. For most of the season he just ran around the field but by the end of the season he got the hang of it and started having some fun!
We also had our yearly firetruck visit at school. Bryson was not as interested in it as I thought he would be. He did enjoy sitting in the firetruck though.
We enjoyed watching a lot of Auburn football with our friends. Sadly it wasn't the best season we've had but we still love our team. It's always nice to get together with everybody to watch a game. It's funny how much things have changed over the years. Now instead of just adults staying up late watching the game, we all have our kids with us and are usually too tired to stay up late.
Halloween kind of sneaked up on us this year. We were late putting our decorations up, late carving and painting pumpkins, and late visiting the pumpkin patch. Bryson and Lisa kind of have a tradition of painting a pumpkin together. This year he chose Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Between football games, soccer games and birthday parties, we couldn't find the time to go to a big pumpkin patch. We weren't too worried about since his class was taking a field trip to Old Baker Farm but we still wanted to go as a family. We found a small pumpkin patch a few exits up from us. It wasn't a real pumpkin patch but Bryson enjoyed the jumpy house, the big slide, and the hay ride. Of course it took him forever to chose a pumpkin though.
Bryson had fun carving his pumpkin he picked out. He loves Star Wars and thankfully we found a Star Wars pumpkin carving kit. He looked through the whole thing and decided he wanted to carve Grievous pumpkin. It turned out really good and Bryson loved it!
Bryson also went on his first field trip this fall! We visited Old Baker Farm. We watched them feed the animals. the kids played in the hay, we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch where the kids were able to choose their own pumpkin, we ate lunch in a barn and they kids also got to pet some of the farm animals. Bryson had fun but I think his favorite part was the bus ride. He talked about riding the bus more than the pumpkin patch.
Bryson loves being outside and he loves going on hikes with his daddy. Thankfully we had some nice weather so they were able to go on a nature hike. His teacher sent home a nature scavenger hunt in his folder and Bryson really wanted to go find everything on the list. They had a lot of fun spending the day together looking for everything on the list.
