Fall 2011

In September we took a road trip with the in-laws up to Ohio to
visit Craigs family. Cody had never met his only living great grand parent and we thought it was very important for Grampa Plaster to meet our little Monkey. We were also able to spend a few days with Craigs brother and family. It was a short trip for us but we has such a nice time. We saw Curtiss play in his last football game of the season, Miss Avery play in her Basketball game, visited the BEST pumpkin patch I had ever seen and a fun Fall Fair. We had a blast! but agreed, next tme we need more than 4 days to visit everybody.

October brought lots of fun Spooky outings. We have a really nice farmers market called Bedners (strawberry picking place)that has all sorts of outside events for all the different seasons. For October the had hayrides, a corn maze and a pick your own pumpkin patch.
We also went to The Spooky time festival at the South Florida Fairgrounds. They have the older kid section that has all the scary rides, haunted houses and scary people walking around. We of course went to the little tyke section that has trick or treating, bouncy houses and a few carnival rides.
Now you are probably wondering where our Halloween pictures are.... Well there are none. I made the mistake of not letting Cody wear his costume around the house before the actual day. Lets just say Cody was not having a good night, actually had a complete melt down and refused to put on his super cute Pirate costume... didn't even want to hold the sword or his candy basket. Instead of causing a HUGE scene at the in-laws we decided to skip Halloween this year. Note to self... next year, wear the costume for a couple of weeks prior to the holiday!
