Seward Farms

 We have been trying to find a place similar to Patterson's in Ohio. Even though there weren't any beautiful trees with colored leaves, Seward Farms was a close second. It was really hot that day, but the boys didn't seem to mind. They were running from one thing to the next and were smiling from ear to ear.

 They had a big trampoline sort of thing. I think the boys would have jumped on that the entire day if we let them. Wouldn't this be fun to have in your back yard??

 All of these pictures were taken on my phone, so they aren't the best quality. Anderson was so funny to watch on here. He fell over more than he was able to stay up, but for some reason he could not get enough of it.

 This huge row of flowers was covered in butterflies. There are butterflies EVERYWHERE here. I have never seen so many butterflies.

 We took a hay ride past the cotton fields. There was a huge tractor collecting the cotton, which was a little scary for Anderson. He covered his eyes while we were close to it.

 We ended the day watching the duck and pig races. The boys loved it. It was a perfect (and hot!) way to celebrate Fall.

Fire Station

 In honor of the letter "F", we went to the fire station on base for preschool. The kids loved it. Jack and Lillie were going from one thing to the next, trying on this and checking out that. Katie wasn't quite in the mood for pictures, or trying on anything, but I think she secretly had a good time.

Notice that we are all wearing sweaters and long sleeved shirts! This was a first for us since we have been here. The high for the day was 68 and I loved feeling the Fall weather...even if it only lasted a day. It is weird how we adjusted so quickly to the heat here. Who knew that I would feel so chilly when it's 68 degrees outside.

 Their fire station was rebuilt after Katrina and let me tell you...they are definitely not roughing it over there. There are flat screen tv's every where! I think they said there was some crazy number like 54 tv's in the whole place. Doesn't that seem a little excessive to you? They each had one in their bunk rooms. Pool tables, theater room with huge recliners, etc, etc. Let's just say, it was really nice.

 The guys that took us around were so good with the kids.

 Anderson was really scared and made me hold him the whole time until I pretty much forced him up into the fire truck. Once he was in, he magically wasn't scared any more and thought it was awesome. Which was a good thing because my arm was dying from holding him and trying to take pictures.

 Those boots were almost as tall as him!

 This fire truck that Jack is driving is HUGE. I have never seen a fire truck like that. It is designed specifically for the Air Force planes. The fire station is right on the air field so they have immediate access. The firemen told us it was like having a fire truck on steroids.  

 They were so big!

 Right on the runway.

 I think Justin was a little jealous of our field trip. :)

Jack and Eli

 We got to watch our little friend Eli the other day. Jack LOVES little babies right now. I'm not sure what it is but ever since we got here, he has been so excited whenever we have any babies over. He plays with them, talks to them and takes care of them in any way that he can. My job was super easy the whole day that we had Eli. Jack entertained him in between his naps and all I did was feed him and change his diaper.

 Jack would hide on the couch and then call for Eli. Eli would instantly turn and find him and start laughing. He has the best belly laugh, and he literally was laughing at Jack all day long.

I wish he was always this good to his little brother. :)

FHE

 We went to the beach with the Willison's for family night. I love that we can just drive over to the beach whenever we want. It's so fun! I also love the fact that it's October and still warm enough to play there. Another reason why we love the South.

 Willison's brought their dog along. I am definitely not a dog lover, but Justin and the boys have fun with him.

 Do you love those smiles? That was the best I got from both of them. The Willison's live next door to us and Jack and Lincoln play almost every day. I'm glad that Jack has a good friend that lives so close. 

 The sun was setting just as we were leaving. It was so pretty! I love this one with the Biloxi lighthouse.
