Congratulations cousin Josh!

This past weekend we traveled up to NE Iowa for my cousin's wedding. We were only missing 3 of the 16 first cousins on the Larson side.

In the kitchen....

Ryan loves to help make meals...

and try new things...

sometimes they're not as good as they look!

Daddy's "Helper"

Mark brought home a job trailer to do some landscaping prep and Ryan was fascinated by all the equipment. Let's just say he's wired like his Daddy and wants to figure everything out. Look out everyone!

Anything you can do, Daddy, so can I!

I'm catching up....

What a view - I've discovered Mommy's hiding spot!

From Orchard Apples...

to Apple Pie!

Ryan's First...

MUCH needed haircut. He did great and was very focused on what was happening.

Center Grove Orchard

One of our favorite places is Center Grove Orchard just outside of Cambridge, IA. Thanks to season passes, we've been able to go back and plan to keep going back several times this fall. Here are pictures of our first visit back in September. The following are many of Ryan's favorites.

Little Pig's Stick House, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

Duck Races, Jumping Pillow

The Corn Pool

Roping the Steer, One Room Schoolhouse

We always end with a yummy apple cider slushie - definitely Ryan's favorite!

What a Face!
