Fall Fun!

We had a wonderful, busy weekend doing all things fall related. We spent Friday evening at the Fall Festival at Reed's elementary school. Both kiddos had a great time. On Saturday, we started our day with a baseball game followed by a trip to the apple orchard, fish feeding, trying to catch said fish in a net, roasting marshmallows on a campfire and some movie watching in the camper with Mike Mike and Kath. On Sunday, we hit up the pumpkin patch, carved a few pumpkins, ate apple crisp with ice cream and watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I would say we probably managed to break some kind of record of most fall things done in one weekend, but it was so much fun. October is my favorite month and I hate to see it come to an end on Saturday. It's a good thing November is my second favorite month! : )

Fall Break Trip to the Beach!

In the last few years, we have opted to skip going to the beach during summer break in order to avoid the masses and the heat. This year it seemed that the masses had figured out our secret, yikes! It certainly wasn't the quiet beach trip that it normally is, but we had a great time with family and the kids even made a few friends to play with on the beach. The heat stayed away and the weather was pretty perfect, just the right order for a week at the beach!


My dad looking on as Chris and the kiddos played in the sand.

I am sure he was reenacting a scene from Star Wars. That boy!

One of many donuts had by all of us on this beach trip!


Carson woke up early one morning. I was a little bit perturbed until I saw this.



They do play well together occasionally.


They fight, A LOT, but she loves him so and would follow him anywhere.

About to take off!



Playing keep away.

My grandmother, Jo, buried Carson in the sand.


My mom with the kiddos.











No more pictures, Mom!




Jumping in front of Carson to mess up the picture. Jokes on him because this one is cute of him! : )

Putt-putt!




Note to self.....give them popsicles and they will sit down beside each other for the first time the whole trip.
