{Happy Halloween}

We can't decide which Camden liked better at Halloween this year...getting candy or giving it!  We started out our night trick or treating around the neighborhood.  Camden would run up to the door, ring the bell and then OPEN their door!  Instead of saying "TRICK OR TREAT!" he would check out the candy and say, "I like this one! THANKS!"  Then run back to us.  Even though we had practiced it a lot, he still said what he wanted to say, but hey, at least he had some manners about it!  Our neighbors get together every year in 1 driveway and hand out candy, so after we did our thing we went to the party.  We left Camden in charge of handing out ours.  After the 1st rush of 5 kids, our candy was 1/2 gone!  Camden was handing them 10+ pieces of candy at once!  We overheard him scripting the children on how they ask for candy.  He was telling them, "Say trick or treat!  Now say thank you!"  It was hysterical!  Bexley liked riding around the neighborhood in her ladybug costume and seeing everyone!  We had a great Halloween and have some funny memories to go with it!

{NC Zoo} and Carving Our Pumpkins !

Besides Trick or Treating, I think we are finally done with all of our Halloween/Fall activities!  We had a great time carving our pumpkins this year.  Camden's is of course a tractor and Bexley's is a butterfly.  We also found time to go to the NC Zoo - always a treat!  And we had a blast at the Rudd Halloween Party on Saturday!  5 days and counting 'til trick or treating!!!

{Pumpkin Picking} and a state fair !

It's been a long time since I was at a state fair and let me tell you the NC State Fair was a good one to start back up with!  We had so much fun looking at the animals, eating fair food and watching the tractor pull.  Although it was a little loud, Bexley never cried once and you know Camden ~ he was in heaven!  We also had time that weekend to pick out our pumpkins.  Although we couldn't find a pumpkin patch the farmer's market never lets us down!  We are getting so excited for trick or treating we can't stand it!  Camden tries on his costume almost once a day!  Happy Halloween!

{Fall Leaves} and Train Rides!

We had our Annual Fall Trip to the Mountains today.  The weather was GORGEOUS!!!  We couldn't have asked for a better day!  We normally drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and look at all the beautiful trees, but this year we decided to go to Tweetsie Railroad (A wild west theme park).  The kids loved every minute of it, with the exception of 2 of the rides.  We then went on a picnic and then drove on the Parkway to see all of the foliage!  This was the 2nd outing this fall ~ our 1st was to Rudd Farm and Farmers Market to get Gourds for decorating!  We had a blast seeing all of the pumpkins too!  Next weekend I think we might hit the NC State Fair and maybe a Pumpkin Patch along the way!!!  Keep checking back for more pics!
