While hubby was out of town, the kiddos and I took a break from school and went off to visit my folks at some property they own on a gravel bar. First stop was a local nursery to pick up some pumpkins. On the way in, Mookie was bemoaning the fact we were not at a "real" pumpkin patch and this was not going to be any fun. Wrong! First thing we saw was their grass maze, to which I lost them right away...
On the other side of the grass maze was a huge checkerboard which they loved because they've been chess fanatics over the past weeks (you can't move a muscle with out a query of "do you want to play chess?" ).

There was also a "mountain" to climb, where we found some swallowtail caterpillars. Then on we went to our gravel bar where we explored nature with our family and even enjoyed some time with my aunt and uncle who came down too. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful fall day in Kansas!
