Fall Festivities

Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch with some friends to pick out a pumpkin and enjoy the activities they had for kids.  We found out something about Austin while we were there. First is that he really doesn't like animals, especially petting them.  This is the face we got from him anytime we brought him over to  pet an animal:
He hasn't really been around pets all that much so I guess he is just scared of animals.  Here are a couple more from the corn maze we walked through and picking out a pumpkin.
Then we were able to carve our pumpkin with some friends.  Matthew did an awesome job with the ghost he made.  Austin wasn't much help but he was really good at eating pumpkin cookies.


This fall Matthew has been playing on some intermural sports at his school. Austin and I love to go watch him play.  The teams he has been playing on are a bunch of other first year podiatry students.  In volleyball, his team won the championship! Yay! We are hoping for a cool T-shirt or something like they do at BYU!  In softball, his team made it to the first playoff game.  In the last game they played, Matthew was pitching and  was picking up a grounder but it popped up and got him in the face.  He got a pretty good black eye from it. You can see it in the picture of Austin and Matthew below.

Austin is clapping for Matthew after he made a hit.

I guess that means you don't have to worry about Austin ever wanting a puppy!
