Pumpkin Patch

Elisabeth riding Ginger

Believe it or not......Ansley hit it square on and knocked the man in the water. He was shocked!

Hayride around the farm and out to the pumpkin patch

This area is filled with corn.......the kids thought it would be a good idea to bury each other in the corn

I wasn't willing to lay down in the corn so they just buried my legs

The tomato slingshot

It was hard! Mine didn't go very far....

These are the ones

We love old barns so we took some random pictures as we passed them on the way back home

Every October we head to a pumpkin patch to find a few good pumpkins for our front porch. We could go to the local grocery store but we decide to make a day of it and create some memories in the process. This year we went on the first weekend in October since the rest of our weekends are booked already. It was kind of warm for pumpkin picking but the day was beautiful so I can't complain. We went to a new place this year that we had never gone to before. It was a nice place and the kids loved it! It was alot of fun.......we might be going back there next year too. Enjoy the pictures!

I came across these pictures and they are some of my favorite fall pictures from the past.

I love Labs!

Isn't he cute?

Elisabeth's friend from church, Caleb, and his dog Abe

Titus......feeling lazy

My friend at church recently got 2 lab puppies. Of course I had to ask her if we could come over and play with them! They are soooo cute! Almost makes me want another one but 3 dogs is a little much right now. I'll just love on her puppies and get it out of my system :-)

Let's play soccer!

Run Elisabeth Run!

Bored with being the goalie

Hand slaps for everyone after the game. Great game!

Thumbs up for my 1st soccer game!

After all that running Elisabeth needed a cool treat

Elisabeth had her first soccer game last Saturday morning at 9 am. They were so cute out there on the field. Both teams did really well! No one really kept score so I'm not sure who won. At this age it isn't all about winning or losing. They are doing good just to be kicking the ball in the right direction and into the correct goal! We will have games every Saturday from now until the end of October. It will be interesting to see how they improve from now until then. It's fun!

Labor Day Camping Trip

Ansley, Jan, Ron and Elisabeth all went Rock Climbing at the campground in Charleston. Jan and Ansley are getting their harnesses on.
Ron is getting ready........

And last but not least little Elisabeth is getting ready. This was her 1st time......she was very very excited!

Ansley headed to the top. She made it much quicker than the last time she climbed it. This wall is 50 feet high.

Almost to the top.

Elisabeth is ready to go!

Look at those little legs climb!

Go Elisabeth Go!

Ron climbing the wall. Unfortunately I was so busy taking pictures of Ron with his camera that I have only 1 or 2 on my camera of him climbing the wall. Sorry Ron. He did make it to the top..

Jan climbing the wall - she made it to the top too!

Back on the ground

Ansley and Elisabeth climbing the boulder wall

The dock out in the marsh at James Island County Park. One of my favorite areas of the park.

Poor Elisabeth was exhausted and fell asleep on Ron's head

Ansley holding a shrimp that someone caught from the dock

Throwing out the net to catch some shrimp. It takes talent to throw it correctly.

Good throw

They grow spiders big in Charleston........very creepy.

Elisabeth staring at the people catching shrimp on the dock

Relaxing (right after Ansley's shoe fell in and I had to rescue it before it went bye bye down the river)

Me and Ansley hanging out on the dock. Elisabeth couldn't join us......I think she was sound asleep. We wore her out every day.

Splash park fun

Wow this water is cold!

Come and get me! (Nope - that water was too cold for me)

Watching and waiting for Elisabeth to get blasted in the face by the water that is fixing to shoot up from the ground. She always seemed to move just before it happened. She's not dumb.

Is it cold Ron?

Brrrr.....it's cold once you come out of the water. It was quite breezy that day.

Go Grandpa Go!
