Fall Fun in Iowa

Wally is still absolutely obsessed with Star Wars. We finally finished watching the last movie (well, the last original movie). At the end the good guys have a party to celebrate defeating the bad guys. So, Wally decided we needed to have a fiesta. He made decorations (see the round thing on the house) and we ate cake outside and sang and danced. I love watching Wally's mind with this Star Wars kick. One morning, Wally decided Scout needed some stuffed animals. He made quiet a wall around her so that the dogs couldn't see her. He is always thinking of others' happiness.

The other week was the high school's homecoming parade. All of the feeder elementary schools get to march in the parade. Of course, Wally had to do that. Here he is ready to go!

We only made it about a block before Wally was out of candy to hand out. He did have a great time though!

After about a half-mile, we stopped marching in the parade and watched the rest of the parade go by. Wally and his friend Sam never stopped waving.

That weekend, we went to "the farm." Moose was born to live at a place like this.

Maybe Wally too.

Wally needed his camera so he could take pictures of wild animals, like these geese.

We went on a nature hike, and had to climb over the fallen tree rather than walk around it. That's my boy!

We found a 2-headed dandelion. It is hard to see in the picture, but there were 2 perfect flowers that came off the same stem. I love nature! I was so afraid he was going to fall in, but the kid has peeing skills!

We found a huge tree that had recently been chopped down by beavers. They had to work hard on that one!

He can balance!

And he jumps!!!!

Fall is a beautiful time in Iowa. I'm so glad we've had the chance to enjoy it and are blessed with being able to go to this farm.
