Cory's Last Day in America

So Tuesday, October 9th, was Cory's last day in America!!! I can't believe he is actually almost to Australia as we speak!! So we asked the kids what they wanted to do with dad on his last day here and the last time they would get to see him for a few weeks and they said they wanted to go to a pumpkin patch! Kind of strange, especially since Cory suggested going to Planet Play! So we went to a pumpkin patch and then to Planet Play.

The kids by the hugest pumpkin ever!

Will going for a wheel barrow ride!

Ava going through the maze. 

 Lily and Ava searching the fields for the perfect pumpkin! 

 Will also searching...

 At last, they all found the perfect pumpkins! 

Ava found one that was just her size!  So did Lily and so did Will!

Aw, look at these cute sisters!!  When did they get so big???

 Here is Will driving the tractor!  Doesn't he look so big too???

Ava driving and Lily surfing on the hood!

 Ava and Lily decided to dance on some hay bales! 

With our pumpkins selected and the dancing finished, it was now time to go to Planet Play for some pizza and fun!! 

Here are the kids chowing down. 

 This picture of Cory with the girls is my favorite, for oh so many reasons!!  LOL!

With the eating taken care of, it was now time to hit the arcade!!!  We had $40 worth of "tokens" to blow!! 

 Will loved all of the rides and games, he was in heaven!!!

Lily and Ava had some good team work going on!

They all three loved this little carousel.  Especially Will!

Can you tell that it is Will who has complete control of the steering wheel?  He is such a boy!

A little father son bonding! 

Wow, we are so proud of Ava that she is finally going down slides that are as long as she is!!!  Way to go 3 year old!! 

Now look what her one year old brother started doing the very next day...

Yeah, that's Will going head first down the slide at the park.  What can I say, the boy is a born kamakazi!!  And it is totally okay with me that Ava is a little more cautious!!! 

Anyway, we all had a great time with Cory on his last day in America.

The next morning we all got up early and drove him to the airport. 

Cory saying good bye to the kids. 

Cory wouldn't pose for a going away photo, so this is the best that I got. 

We dropped him off and said good bye on Wednesday morning at 8 am and by Friday he was in Australia. 

We all love him and miss him and can't wait to join him down under!!!
