Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, from our porch, to yours!

James, the Fireman, enjoyed trick-or-treating, eating and passing out candy this year.

And, he was very generous. The majority of candy he collected, he happily tossed into our basket and continued giving out to all the kids in the neighborhood!

James, the knight in shining armor

Or, as the little girls called him, "Prince Charming!"

We had quite the action packed Halloween weekend, 

with plenty of opportunities to dress up this season, which James loved!

Red Wagon Farm

Red Wagon Farm 2015

Pumpkins, corn pit, hay maze, scarecrow village wagon ride!

Then, we topped off Sunday Funday with a trip to the Gibbs Butcher Block! 

Jet Setters - NC Trip

Phil and Pilot Matt's first solo trip to North Carolina! 

Just two best friends and some golf clubs, flying the friendly skies. 

Because, why wouldn't you want to head to North Carolina on a Saturday morning to escape the chilly Ohio weather and golf with Chad?! Lucky guys!

And this picture with our nieces. Casey and Alissa, just is the best!
We miss you all and must see you soon!

Apple Picking

James' 1st School Field Trip! 

We spent the morning touring the apple washing and packaging center, watching and learning how apple cider is made, taking a wagon ride around the farm and getting to pick our own apples! Although it was a chilly fall day, it was a fun family day!

Learning how to reach and twist the apple stem four times to pick it from the tree

   

James loved picking, collecting and eating the apples!
