Matt Kenseth Museum

We had a blast last weekend! The family came down for a visit and we checked out the Matt Kenseth Museum (NASCAR driver). Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids, so Amy and I could go see Real Steel (Amy even liked it, robots + fighting...what is there not to like?).

Treinen Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

The kids had a blast hanging out with Aunt Jenni at the Treinen Farm corn maze and pumpkin patch in Lodi this past weekend.  

The Treinen Farm website is http://treinenfarm.com/  During the Oct 1 & 2 weekend, the proceeds went to the Autism Society of Greater Madison http://autismmadison.org/

This year's corn maze is Icarus from Greek mythology.
