Fall Activities

Bike Riding and Fall Activities


Click on the picture to see pics and videos.

Wilmer took the training wheels off Aaron's bicycle. He spent an hour or so just helping him ride around the yard. The following day I helped him for about an hour and he could ride across the front yard which isn't that large. Then Saturday morning, he wanted to ride around the block! So Wilmer rode his bike and Aaron rode his and he has been riding ever since! I can not believe he is already riding like a big boy. He is growing so fast! He even talks older now- it's scary. Now he always wants to be out riding on his bike. I found a bike trailer on craigslist brand new, that we can hook onto the big bike and I can pull Tyler around while Aaron rides his bike. Of course, now I find it very hard to ride with my huge belly! =) So we haven't been riding in a while but Wilmer takes them out after work if its not too cold.

As you can see in the pictures, we got little pumpkins for the boys. We went to a pumpkin farm and they each chose one that they wanted. Tyler HAD to carry his own of course- Mr Independent. Then we came home and I took off the "hats" and the boys cleaned them out. Daddy helped them carve faces and we put little tea lights inside. The following day I let them finger paint their pumpkins so they had fun with that. Then a week later we threw them out because they were rotting already and were well played with! =)

Last weekend we went to Strong Museum. I was hoping all the activity would kickstart this baby but no such luck. They had a new Curious George exhibit and that is the boys absolute favorite TV show. Daddy also took them both on the little train ride, which was Tyler's first time that he remembered. They also had the kids decorate little brown bags to collect different goodies and candy being passed out throughout the museum by different characters.

This Friday night if it is not too cold, we might be taking them out trick-or-treating. I'm not really into all that stuff but since Mom had some outfits for them to wear I thought we might try it just one year. I do not get into all the other Halloween things and I don't tell the boys anything about it. I don't really consider it a holiday so I am not going to teach my boys silly things about it. I will post a picture here of them in their outfits. They are pretty cute!!
