Before It's Too Late...

This might be the worst month I've ever had as a 'blogger'.  Oooops!?!?  Things haven't been any busier than usual, so I'm not really sure how this happened.  So, although it's really late, I'm going to go ahead and post about one of the highlights of the month...

Thanksgiving Weekend
Curt and I were able to spend the weekend in Acton - we had a great time visiting with everyone, and enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, Aunt Mary, and my cousin Becky.  I wasn't feeling great all weekend, so we didn't do as much as we usually would - no late night board games with Tom & Krystle - but we did continue our tradition of visiting a pumpkin patch!

The first thing we do when we get there, pick pumpkins!  It's a group effort, and it takes some serious concentration...

But, Nolan was pretty quick to find his - and I think Abby was happy with his choice...

Once the choices were made, and the wagon was loaded, it was time to head inside to pay.  Nolan was doing a good job pulling the wagon...until Uncle Curt decided he needed a ride...

I tried to take advantage of a pretty little fall set-up to take some pictures of the kids, but that proved to be VERY hard...I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...first try...

second try...

and, third and final try...

I realized a few things as I was cropping these pictures to put on here:

1. I LOVE these two, and even though they didn't co-operate for the pictures, I think the pictures are great because they are just so cute!

2. For the last few years, I've felt like everyone with a camera is becoming a photographer, and starting their own business - however, despite the fact that I own a camera, I could never be a photographer!  I do not have an eye for pictures...notice the green garbage can in the last three pictures?!?!  ooops! 

Our visit to the pumpkin patch always includes a trip through the corn maze as well...

The boys always play a big role in helping Nolan and Abby get through the maze :)  

Cute, isn't it!

And finally, we played in the hay maze.

Nolan, focused on his big jump from one bale to the next...

And, I got out from behind the camera for a bit and tried my own jump...

It was a great day, and we lucked out with great weather again!  So thankful to spend time with family and to enjoy traditions - new and old.

P.S. Sorry for the picture overload...Tom and Krystle didn't have their camera with them, so I wanted to share lots of pictures - I realize I probably went overboard!  I had 101 pictures to choose from though, so considering that, I didn't do too bad.
