Fabulous Fall Fun!

We have enjoyed a fabulous week around here:
First, we had a special visit from Grandpa Ruff which included a trip to the newly opened Fresh Market for some delicious meat, cheese, French bread, and oh-so-yummy apple pie. On Tuesday morning, we headed over to Sleeping Giant State Park for a long, enduring hike. The park got it's name because supposedly the mountain looks like a big, dozing giant. We climbed all the way to the left hip:) Dad and I also enjoyed a nice lunch out where he got to see wild Aiden at his best. For some reason, Aiden always goes crazy at restaurants. He will NOT sit in the highchair...he stands in it, tries to climb out of it, and reaches for everything in sight. This makes for a quick chow down for me, but I loved my yummy salad even while trying to wrestle our little boy:)
Second, we are celebrating the Hawkeyes season so far...even Aiden celebrated with some swings of joy (one of his new favorite activities)!
Third, we enjoyed lots of time outdoors the past few days as we are trying to soak in the last moments of sunshine and warm fall weather. Of course, we are enjoying our twice a day walks with Cobi and Sheffield and some ventures out in the beloved Cozy Coupe. Aiden and I have a nice routine where I force (and yes, somedays I have to force) myself out the door for a short run with Aiden in the jogger where we finish at the park. Aiden loves swinging, going down the slide while holding on to Mama's arms, playing on the structure, and attempting to eat the yucky woodchips:)
Here are some pictures from the past week:

Jules, You forgot to mention that we had to climb past the Sleeping Giant's head to get to his left hip. That was the hard part!
