Goodbye Shadow and Apple Fest

We have sad news to share.  Ayson's cat, Shadow, died unexpectedly on Monday afternoon.  We think he misjudged the amount of space he had to right himself (after a too short jump in the air) and he hit a chair, breaking his neck before he fell to the ground.  We are in disbelief that Shadow is gone and Adam and Amy feel terrible for Ayson, Addie, and Shadow's brother, Thunder.  We hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.

Shadow is buried not too far from Mason.

Addie placed the stone kitty (from Ms Annie and Mr Bob), so that the Kitty could watch over Shadow and Mason.


Ayson had a football game in a town 1 hour away and Ayson's team won!  Great job, Ayson!


We started to frost the fall sugar cookies that we made on Sunday.

Yum!


On Friday, we took the rest of the cookies to Kate's house so the kiddos could have fun frosting the cookies.

A friend of Addie's gave Addie 2 painted stones to put at Shadow's grave.


Addie and Elise with cotton candy pink tongues headed back down the Apple Fest in the rain.


The girls had fun riding on the carnival rides - even in the rain.


Ayson worked at the festival in the football booth and then he hung out with his friends.  At one point, Ayson and 2 of his friends came back to the house to warm up and so Ayson could change into dry clothes.  This is the only picture Amy was able to get of Ayson from Apple Fest.


Saturday evening, there were fireworks and we could see them from our windows!!!
