Palmetto Bluff November 2008

We played out at Palmetto Bluff, which is about 10 minutes from where we live. It is right on the May River. The kids enjoyed the swings, boche court and giant tree house. We realized it is not easy to get a good family picture anymore, but we'll take what we can get.

Fall Pictures

Hayes is starting to push up off the floor and has rolled from his tummy to back twice. James always enjoys a morning run, just him and Daddy. Halle is growing into such a responsible young lady.

Making pumpkin pie

Halle, James and I worked together to make our first pumpkin pie from scratch (crust and all)!

Bluffton Seafood Festival 5K

Dan and I ran and pushed the kids for a 3.2 mile run through downtown Bluffton. This was our third year participating. Dan got first place in his age division. Amanda finished! Hayes slept and Halle and James loved how fast Daddy pushed them. Gram came out to cheer us on at the finish line.

Pumpkin Fest

A local community hosted Pumpkin Fest the weekend before Halloween. Halle and James painted a pumpkin for a contest, had hot dogs for lunch, played on a great playground, climbed around the inside of a fire truck and fished. It was a great time.

Apple Picking

We drove to Flat Rock, NC to meet Uncle Adam at the apple orchards. We picked lots of apples, ate apple cider donuts and visited the animals at the little farm.

Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

We drove about 1 hour from our home to visit a small farm that sells pumpkins and produce. Halle and James had the most fun feeding the bunnines and goats. We brought home pumpkins for all.
