World Series anyone??

Yes, you read correctly Cory and I were able to go to the World Series, Cory got two tickets from work!! It was amazing and so much fun to be apart of!! I have never been to and probably never will be (for a long long time) such an exciting game. The entire stadium was packed and the energy that everyone had was crazy. Everyone became fast friends with whoever you were sitting next to, behind of or in front of! Here are a few of my favorite pics!

Now normally I would have cropped this picture and just had it be Cory and I without the strange men in the background. However, this strange man (in the wonderful red light up sunglasses) became a close yelling, high fiving, hugging friend of ours. What is his name you ask??? Who knows but he sure was fun to sit by so I decided to leave him in the photo. :)
A look at how full the stadium was!
Not the red sunglasses guy but the other "stranger" in the first picture took this picture for us.
Motte is on the mound with the final out about to happen.
The crowd waiting anxiously with security waiting close by as well!

We won!!!


I was trying to get a picture of the score. 6 to 2!
Confetti came out of nowhere along with streamers, fireworks etc.....Yes, this picture our red sunglasses friend took for us
Our rally towel.
Way to go Cardinals, thanks for such a fun and exciting World Series especially games 6 and 7!!

Pumpkin Patch

A few weekends ago we did our annual family trip to the pumpkin patch. Since the girls are older this year we decided to try a different patch than we have gone to in the past. The new patch is one that is better for older kids as it has more activities for them to do. Here they are ready to go showing us the shirts that their Aunt Lauren (Cory's brother's wife) made for them, so cute!!

There were several hay mazes to find your way through. The girls (and Cory) had a great time exploring them all.

We went on a hayride around the farm/patch and got to see everything that has been planted and that is currently ready for picking.Claire and daddy on the hayride
This was probably the favorite thing of the day, the zip line!! Both the girls LOVED it. I couldn't even tell you how many times they went down it.

Hey, even daddy gave it a whirl!
One of the great things about having your daddy be a little shorter than everyone else's is that he can go with you through the Tower of Terror!!! Cory said it was pitch black and even he couldn't find his way through, good thing they came across a young boy while they were in there that had a flashlight. Next year we know to bring our own flashlight. Here they are at the top!
Paige trying out the pumpkin horse.

Family shot, ever since Claire lost both her two front teeth we see this silly smile from time to time.

This was also a popular thing to do, the tire swing. Claire would get on hers by herself by running and jumping on. Paige on the other hand needed a little help, hence daddy in the background.Wee!
Mom and dad shot, it was a tad sunny.

Another family shot, C's smile is a little better this time around.
Love this one
And this one!

There we go, finally got a good one of everyone!
Happy Halloween!
