Fall, leaves, and grandparents are here! When Scott's parents come we usually are able to get a lot done and that means we had extra help with raking and blowing our leaves out to the street. The kids always love to jump in them. They did this several times this week and never got tired of the thrill of running down the hill to jump into the huge pile of leaves. We love having a shady backyard in the summer, but we do pay for it in the fall. Above is Emma in the leaves!
On Sunday Grandma and Papa took the kids to the zoo! This was Sam's second trip to the zoo in a week. He also got to go on Friday with Scott and PaPa. They got to see the baby tigers. Even though it was cold they still had a great time! Here they are on the beetle outside the butterfly house. Did the beetle get a new color? Sam thinks his back did not used to be red! He is an observant little fellow...he is probably right!
Grandma and PaPa Smout took Claire and Emma to see the Noah musical in Branson over the summer so Sam was due a special outing with them. PaPa saw that the "Greatest Show on Earth" was going to be in town so they took Sam to the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus on Saturday. Above is Sam at the show. It was a long show, 2.5 hours to be exact. It was reported that he sat very still, ate his snacks and watched the show. His favorite act was the tigers! When he got home he was sure to tell me that the circus was at the same place "they play hockey!" I am sure he had a great time, I mean it is the circus after all!
One more leaf picture! There will be more to come as half of the leaves are still on our trees! Thanks Grandma and PaPa for a fun week!
