* Grandpop's 70th birthday

* Aunt Melinda's 40th birthday

* Uncle Jim's retirement from the military

* Daddy's farewell William received a belated birthday present from Grandma and Grandpop

How cold is this water?

Not bad... I think I will go in

"Roll your pants up and lets go in Connor"

"Look at me, the water is up to my knees"

Family Photo Time

Pumpkins Glore

Pumpkins Galore

We love the pumpkin patch. We went several times this year but took only a few pictures.

Reasons:

1. uncooperative child(ren)

2. wind

3. rain

4. forgot the camera

We told William he could chose ANY pumpkin he wanted... he just had to carry it himself

Hay ride in the rain and wind. Not so happy

William wanted to be sure we had pumpkins of all sizes

Happy FALL!
