A pumpkin patch tradition

This weekend we took the boys for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch, and this time Gigi was able to join us. It is always an eventful day, but this year the boys were the ones pointing the way to the activities in the order they wanted. After enjoying some lunch it was full speed ahead for the hayride to the pumpkin patch. It never fails that Nathan picks the first available pumpkin and Mason is quite choosy. Unfortunately, for Nathan, we realized his pumpkin had a large crack in the bottom. Thank goodness we were still in the patch. He quickly found another "perfect" pumpkin. The rest of the day was spent riding the tractor train, playing on inflatables, and EATING, EATING, EATING!!! We had a great time and look forward to going again next year. The boys asked Gigi if she would come again next year and she said she'd have to wait and see. It may have been too much fun for one day for Gigi!!!

More weekend pictures

I forgot to mention that we saw Santa. The boys told him the rough draft of their Christmas wish list. He also came to the hotel on Saturday night to sing. That was great!! The hotel has a clock that rings every hour that is amazing!! That is what is going on in the picture of the boys laying on the ground. I know it is only October, but it is never too early for the Christmas spirit!!!

What a weekend!?!?

This weekend we traveled to Pigeon Forge with David's family (with a quick stop and Gigi and Pop's house). We stayed at the new Christmas Place Inn (which was fabulous). The boys LOVE staying at a hotel...expecially the continental breakfast!! Saturday morning David and the boys visited a helicopter museum and then we took them to the Nascar place where they could ride rides. Our next stop was a picnic at The Chimney's. However, Mason got sick on the way. David took the two of us back to the hotel and he and Nathan went on to meet the family. Mason and I spent most of the day resting and watching football. Luckily we could walk to a couple places because we were without a car. He wanted to get out so we went to get some soup for lunch and get a small treat for his missing the picnic. He ended up napping which is highly unusual. David came back for us to go to dinner...we left...had forgotten the cell...turned around...boys decided they didn't want to go...David went on...he came back because traffic was aweful. It was crazy!!! I can't say that we really spent much time with the family. Enjoy the pictures!!!

funny story

Just a quick story from the weekend...On Saturday we were headed home to watch the Bama game and the boys were asking who we were playing. I said Florida State and they asked if that was the gators. I said no, the seminoles. Not two minutes later Nathan said, "Did you say the Cinnamon rolls?" We thought it was hilarious and referred to them as the Cinnamon Rolls all weekend. Too bad we lost to a bunch of Cinnamon Rolls!!!
