Star Student

I was volunteering at Brooklynn's preschool about two weeks ago. Brooklynn was already in the truck and we were running late but I ran back into the house to grab my camera anyway just in case.... good thing I did because Brooklynn ended up being the star student for the day at TCCP. Here are a few pictures of her special day

Fall Color Tour

Every year our family goes to Manistee River High-Bank Rollaway Scenic Overlooks on our fall color tour. We walk, take pictures (we forgot to get a family pic this year boo) and have cider, donuts and apples and dip for a snack while there. 

First we hit up a new pumpkin patch... A fraction of the price and almost as much fun as where we normally go. Thank you Olds family for saving us a good amount of money on just pumpkins!!

TCCP Family Fun Night

Brooklynn's preschool put on a family fun night for the families to mingle. They had food, live music, crafts, games, and vehicles for the kids to tour. I was excited about the school bus ride. Brooklynn gets excited every time she sees a school bus.

Brooklynn's "friend" Mark brought his tow truck for the kids to see and play on. Brooklynn tells me she "no love Mark" all the time but as soon as they are together they are inseparable :)  Here she is on his lap.
