October fun in KC and another trip to MN

We were able to enjoy some family time during a few days off here in Kansas City. We traveled to Faulkners family pumpkin patch and made attempts to get pictures of a very busy little boy.











We weren't able to get cute posted pictures with the pumpkins like last year.. so we compromised by slapping the pumpkins with sticks and that kept us within the frame of the camera!





Not long after this, Lucas and I left Ted to work the ICU for the month and we made the drive up to Minnesota to see friends and family. It was a full two weeks of visits and dealing the the Minnesota fall.

We visited one of our favorite Medical school families the Nelsen's who have a boy one year older than Lucas and also twin little guys that are younger than Lucas. It was a busy day at the McDonalds play place!





We also got to meet up with our buddy couple from FANA the Wagners. Lucas really enjoyed playing with Matthew (although I doubt either one of them remember that they lived at FANA together).





He also really enjoyed "driving" all of the cars at Chuck E Cheeses with Grandma and Grandpa in Maple Grove.



Even the busiest of little men need to rest up with all of this visiting!



Lucas had a great day with his Aunts and Uncles, Grandma, Grandpa, and cousins at the apple orchard. It was a busy day!

Getting 3 toddlers to sit on a couch at the same time was challenging but we got it done.













Being in Minnesota also gave me some time to get together with some other Colombian mama's like myself. We ladies don't get out much anymore!



We enjoyed our time, but it was still nice to return home this past weekend to see Daddy again after a few weeks away!
