We went to the Fall Festival at Windyrush (the pool/tennis club), and Ethan's favorite part was the petting zoo! These animals were so fun and very gentle. I think Ethan was a bit wary, but definitely enjoyed meeting all the animals he reads about in his books!
We thought Ethan was going to have to dress up as an animal to be part of the Noah's Ark parade at school. (the toddlers opted out this year because it's a little too overwhelming!) So...Catie let me borrow this frog outfit anyway and Ethan loved it! He would walk around saying, "Ribbit, ribbit". It was a huge hit. :)

Dennis, Ethan, and I made a whirlwind trip to NY a couple weekends ago. I got to see Anna and Marcus, and we all spent great time with Dennis' family on Long Island. We celebrated the one month birthday of Kaitlyn, the newest addition to the family! We ate lots of yummy food and enjoyed seeing family. We even got to celebrate Auntie Alice's Mom's 94th birthday. Ethan had a great time!

Dennis' hours have been much more enjoyable lately, despite the fact that the cause is a bit disturbing. (things at the bank are a little slower these days...) We got to have a weekend in the mountains, and the leaves were gorgeous! Ethan had his 18 month shots on Thursday, so he was a little under the weather with a fever. He really enjoyed the walk we took to the old McClure homestead. Great-Grandpop McClure told us all about his days of walking to school and building the fire in the schoolhouse. It was a fun weekend, and we even got to celebrate Mum and Papi's birthday with a delicious Chinese meal prepared by Dennis and a caramel cake baked by Grand-Martha. Yum!!
