Just before Halloween we decided to enjoy our first football-free, hunting-free, work-free Saturday together and go on a train ride! The weather and scenery were gorgeous.
*Actually, James had his final flag football game at 8:15 that morning. James caught the final ball of the season and ran it in for the touchdown extra point. **we won't note the score of that game...**
The train made a "pick your pumpkin, play some games" stop.
Unfortunately a local wasp picked on James...
But lucky for James, a friend and his family happened to board the train just in front of us!Jim stopped some lady on our way to the car and asked her to take a family picture for us. Her barely teen daughter offered to, and this is what we got. (Seriously, she didn't even look in the camera as she shot this.)
We asked her to try one more time.
Thanks, Molly.
The train brought us home just in time to go to our ward ho-down.
it. was. awesome.
James' name was chosen to participate in the pie eating contest.
Yes, that is Oscar, and a hotdog beside Lizzy cheering him on.
Our boy WON! And we took home a Marie Calendar's Banana Cream Pie!!
James, you done us proud!
Jojo had a great time playing with his buddies in the leaves.
James entered my name into the contest too. I was out taking pictures of our other happy children participating in pumpkin launching and square dancing and missed the opportunity. James then took my uneaten pie and got his dad pretty good! We'll see if I can upload the little video footage a friend captured...
Welcome, Fall. We're glad you're here and hope you stay awhile.
