California came to us!

...well, not the whole state per say, but my parents and brother did!

We had a great visit with my fam a couple weeks ago. Abi was sooo excited for the "max grandma and max grandpa" to come!  She ran down the front steps to my mom when they drove up--it was really cute. And then, she became quite the hostess, showing them around the yard and house and inviting them inside..it was pretty cute. But of course it all went too fast and I forgot to take many pictures...I never even got a Grandma and kids shot...oh well, that's what Christmas is for I guess! 

But we did have a great time - going up to the Canyon, playing outside, BYU campus/creamery, playing dominos, celebrating Grandma/mom's birthday, going to a Fall festival, and of course, just chatting it up!

Thanks for coming to visit us Mom, Dad and Max!!

Petting zoo at the fall festival

 Abi loved chasing the little goat...though i don't think he appreciated it.

 It was a beautiful fall day. Abi's favorite part was riding a pony! She was so excited!!

 Also had fun climbing on the tractors...of course she would choose the pink one.

 Max and Abi plowing the fields!

 Even Madeline had fun - as long as she had a graham cracker in her hand, that is.

 They also had a giant bungee cord trampoline thing that you're harnessed in. Abi really wanted to do that (no surprise there) but she settled for the little bouncy slide thing.
