Linder Farms

We had a good ol' country time at Linder Farms last week during our break from school.

Fall Break

After completing the first 6 weeks of school, we took this week off. The first thing we did was take an all day drive through the mountains on Monday. We spent the day enjoying hot springs, the Sawtooth mountains, and fall colors everywhere. It was absolutely beautiful and so refreshing.

Pumpkins!

We went with the Smith family on Saturday to the fall Festival at the Idaho Botanical Gardens. It was a pumpkin wonderland. We ate great food and wandered through the fall exhibits in side the garden. They even had a pumpkin catapult.

September

Well, September is over so I guess I'd better catch up...

We picked our apples.

We had a monk's feast.

We had lots of rain this month.

Emma lost her first top tooth.

And I made my first bread.
