Vacation to Columbus

Due to our bought with the flu, we ended up spending 3 days in Columbus instead of the week we had planned. We still had a great time at Grandpa and Grandma's house. We found this caterpillar on a hike. Lauren wanted to hold it . . .Annika just wanted to look at it. We celebrated Lauren's 3rd birthday - complete with new orange bike.

Annika was in a tree climbing mood, but there were no branches to climb so she didn't get very far.

Audrey and Samantha were able to enjoy (eat) the fall leaves.

Fun with Uncle Eric.

Quick - take the picture before our arms fall off.

I love fall.

Piling up leaves for a jump party.

Giant spider! Uncle Eric identified it as the Banded Garden Spider.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Uncle Eric and Aunt Lesley gave the kids some really cool musical instruments.

First time in the bath tub together.

Audrey and Sami met Great-Grandma Hall for the first time.

One of Lauren's favorite birthday presents - a Hello Kitty umbrella.

Nothing says 3 year old birthday party more than artificially colored Elmo cupcakes.

Joker?!

Grandma was a big help feeding the babies.
