October

 October began with State golf finals for Ryan.  I met Joy and Matthew in Saratoga Springs and walked 18 holes watching him.  He didn't do as well as he would have liked, but he did much better than I would have. 

At hole 9 Kristina and Heidi joined us for the fun!

 Each year they hold a STEM Festival at the Expo Center.  We go with Catheys and walk around seeing the demos etc.  This year one of the session presenters was the "What's Inside" father and son team from Youtube.  Jacob loves watching them so it was a highlight for him to meet them in person.  They are from Utah and about 4 years ago, when the son had a science project, they did it on what is inside things.  They put it on Youtube and it took off.

I am trying to teach Jacob some different life skills.  So he helped me put together one of his favorite meals--Poppy seed Chicken.

In October, for fall break, we met Debbie Kirby and her kids and went to Blackhills Farm.  It was (in my opinion) kind of the poor man's version of Cornbellys.

 While it wasn't as large as Cornbellys the kids still had fun.

This was the corn box. Still loved it. 

The next day we met at Gardner Village.  The amazing thing is the first day it was 70 degrees.  The next day, at Gardener Village we needed coats. 

 For October's Scout Pack Meeting we did a Rain gutter Regatta.  It was really fun!

  The weather had been so un-winter like we were able to take a Sunday afternoon walk at the end of the month.

 Our new neighbor came over to play darts.

Nice aim!!

Halloween day!  First the morning parade and then the afternoon class party!
