We took the kids to Coopersville to ride the Pumpkin Train. Rylee was so excited, she loves trains and now she was finally able to ride one. It was a really nice ride, and we got to see a lot of really pretty fall colors.
We rode the train to Marne where we stopped and they detrained the engine and drove it around to the other side to drive us back to Coopersville.
The girls had a little time to walk around the train while we were waiting.
There were some actors on the train that were dressed in costumes that went back and forth throughout the trip between the train-cars. There was a pumpkin, a crow and a scarecrow. They were pretty entertaining.
Katelyn wasn't sure what to think if the man in the scarecrow costume, when he was on our train she would sit so still and just stare at him, it was so cute!
They sang a song and had the kids waving their hands.

Katelyn frowns all the time, I tried to get her to smile but these were the pictures I got.....
Rylee thought it was so cool to wave at the cars from the train, usually she is watching the train from inside of our car.
After the train ride all of the kids got to pick out a pumpkin.
We had coupons on the back of our train tickets for free ice cream cones from McDonalds, so of course we had to stop there on the way home. Katelyn had some cookies, I don't trust her with and ice cream cone yet, especially in the car!

The girls love to play with Sadie, she is about 3 1/2 months old now and is over 30 pounds!! Jon put an electric fence in our yard (yeah, the whole yard!!) for her and she is doing really good on it. She has only gotten shocked twice and now when she gets close enough to the wire that she hears the warning beep she runs back into the yard. She now knows how to come, sit, shake, leave it, lay down and stay. She has also basically stopped the "puppy biting", now we just have to teach her to stop jumping on people when they come over....
Sadie was pulling Katelyn around the house with the leash and Katelyn thought it was hilarious.
Rylee was so excited about decorating her pumpkin. She used all kinds of things on it. It has glitter for its hair and mouth, feathers for ears, and of course it had to have 3 eyes because she is 3 years old.
The weather has been surprisingly nice for October, we had pizza outside one night and the girls loved sitting together at their picnic table.
Katelyn loves riding the pony.
I was vacuuming in the living room and I thought Katelyn was playing in Rylees bedroom. When I was done, I thought it was way too quiet in the house. I went to check on the girls and I found Katelyn sitting in the pantry eating brown sugar!! She was a sticky mess, and my brown sugar was pretty nasty! Of course I tossed it.
