Jake got to see his first movie at a theater, and it was a double feature! He sat very well through Toy Story and Toy Story 2. He's even more excited for the third one now that a full trailer has been released. We're OK for now since he knows it won't be out until he's four. Once his birthday rolls around, however, it might get tougher to get him to wait until June!
The following weekend we finally made our way to a cider mill. It also happened to be the weekend before my birthday, so the family came over and we had a great dinner at Claddagh, and then had a sundae bar back at our house.
Later that week, we had tickets for the Zoo Boo with the Herman family and Grandma and Grandpa Trosko. The kids all seemed to have a good time even though it was more crowded than we expected.
The next few weekends found Michele going to MSU to tailgate with Tiffany and Jen, and then both of us heading back to tailgate with our usual crew. Unfortunately, Mike and Dana had to miss out this year since they were both sick. The rest of us battled through the rain with the help of Craig's canopy and kerosene heater. Then, when BW's was too packed with the people that weren't tough enough to tailgate outside, we made our way over to Wild Wing Cafe where we enjoyed cheap beer, great food, and an amazing array of flat screen TVs. Unfortunately, the excitement of the day ended as time expired in the game and Iowa scored a TD on their final play.
On Sunday, we made our way up to the Wilson Barn to let Jake pick out a pumpkin. He's been wanting to go since they started setting up at the beginning of the month, so he was glad to finally get up there! He got to pick a pumpkin, ride a pony, jump in a bounce house, and eat a donut with cider. All in all, he had a pretty good afternoon!
