Fun Fall Firsts

Yesterday Ava Kate had a fun fall day filled with firsts. Justin worked a volleyball tournament all day so we got up early and went out to Nana and Pop's. Ava got to take her first bath with Keller in Nana's big tub! Keller likes to "swim" in the tub and as he swam by Ava he made such a big wave she fell slid back into the tub on her back which judging by the look on her face she found to be quite exciting! Then we all loaded up and went to the Palmer's ranch. Jerry and Charlotte have been friends of the family for many years. We were treated to buffalo burgers and then we got on the gator and headed out to see the animals. Keller and Ava got to see buffalo, horses and a precious miniature donkey. Ava Kate even got to stand and sit on the little donkey, Derby. After we left the ranch we all headed to the pumpkin patch to take some pictures in the pumpkins. Natalie and Ethan and Matt, Shelly and Lily all met us there. Needless to say the kids were not all that interested in taking pictures. Here are some pictures documenting Ava Kate's big day!
