Hay Ride!
Actually there was no hay, but we said "Hey!", so that counts right? We went on the hay ride at The Red Barn this year. Everyone enjoyed riding out to their pumpkin patch, picking out pumpkins and taking some fun pictures. Eli keeps asking when we go get pumpkins again.

I made yogurt!
I have been meaning to try it since the Elder family reunion when I heard the idea from Nicole and Roxanne. The first time I had to leave in the middle for kindergarten pick-up and I forgot to get it out and put it in the fridge after violin lessons. It didn't set right and looked inedible. The second time I was very careful. I prepared it after the kindergarten pick-up while Ethan and Eli were playing at a friends' house. I put it in the oven and even set a timer. (The first time I used an ice chest as the incubator.) Then as I was preparing dinner I preheated the oven to 400 degrees and forgot about the yogurt. I was sure it was ruined again. It cooled down and set very nicely. Today we tried it and it is good! I feel good having accomplished this small feat. Thank you Nicole, Roxanne and Anslin for the idea and the tips.
