While Eliza played with her daddy, Henry cashed in on some over due snuggles with Nana.
Monday morning, we navigated our way to Niven's Apple Farm
After a ride on the 'short' bus, we took a twenty minute hayride where we saw apple & peach orchards, pumpkin patches and spotted charming fairy tale characters that were hidden in a forest of trees.
Eliza enjoyed bouncing on tubes,
visiting the petting zoo
and walking through a corn maze with Nana
The last item of business... picking out a pumpkin. Having a Charlie Brown type of compassion, Eliza was drawn to a single pumpkin, who had lost his stem.
A moment later, she changed her mind (again and again) and decided on this one. 
The weather was perfect, my ankle endured well (it's still very swollen and a nice shade of bruising has developed) and we didn't get lost trying to find the farm! We were all tuckered out. It was time to come home and relax.
Eliza excels in this department.Meanwhile, Henry's two week illness progressed into high danger fever land. After talking with his doctor's nurse, we were advised to take him into an evening Pediatric dungeon... ugh, I mean clinic.
I apologize for the critical analysis, but the cinder block, window-less walls inspired the question, "Am I'm being admitted into prison?" The creep-fest of the facility continued when we walked back into the examination room and the wall decor consisted solely of this
It's certainly not your typical "Ponies Playfully Prancing in a Pasture" scene, is it? Traditionally, individuals visit the doctor's office in hopes of curing nasty maladies. Considering the ironically true fact that we ate spaghetti for dinner an hour earlier, you can understand that I left the room feeling somewhat nauseated.My photo doesn't due the size of this framed piece of ugliness justice.
The good news of our adventure, Henry was prescribed an antibiotic for an ear infection, throat problems, etc and after three days of having a fever, woke up this morning without one. Yay. More to come.

Ali, I'm sorry, I tried to read this post in its entirety, but I just couldn't get past your friend in the yellow shirt by the tractor. For real????
That picture is seriously freaky. Does it have googly eyes? BTW, I also love the pic of Eliza chillin'.
Oh my gosh ALI... I am still laughing at that picture hanging in the doctors office. It was even funnier when when I clicked it to see it full size. Seriously Hilarious!!! LOL...LOL...LOL
That last pic is really creepy. I'm glad you've been having fun with your mom!
Sorry about your ankle! I love that Eliza wanted the broken pumpkin first. She is too funny. That picture seriously needs to come down. Creep-ee.
We miss you guys. A lot.
P.S.I love the way you talk about your mom. She's sure lucky to have you.
Ali, I am so sorry about your ankle but I'm so glad your mom is there. And, really that picture is so scary.
That picture is disgusting! I never want to see that scary child ever again!:)
Okay, Ali- here it is... I need you to do something for me.
I work for Deseret Book, and there is an awesome women's blog that I think you should do a guest post on. Just go to lightrefreshmentsserved.com and check it out, click on "guest blog", and you will submit a little sample. Priceless. You should totally do it, it has HUNDREDS or readers!
I'm getting that picture to hang in Seth's room. It's always good to traumatize your children a little bit, right?
Sorry about the ankle! I hope it doesn't interfere too much with your plans. I'm so jealous--I wish my mom were coming to visit...
