Fall Break with Gran and Buddy

Gran and Buddy came to visit us during fall break.

It was exciting for them to attend Joshua's soccer game and practice.

Coach Jarratt is getting the team hyped before kick off.

We are big time playing with a referee this season!

 Friday, Dave took off from work and we went hiking at Plymouth Bluff.

The day was perfect for a hike through the woods.  Joshua insisted (even demanded) being the "line leader" during the hike.  He was not interested in reading the markers along the way.  But stopping for the rest of the group to read them gave us some good breaks.

We made it to the lookout over the bluff down to the Tennessee-Tombigbee River. 

Happy Hikers!

hiking with an extra 30 pounds strapped to your chest is no joke.

This little boy loved throwing rocks and stick into the river.

 Saturday we watched football (of course).  And Sunday we went to church.

We had a great visit with the grandparents and look forward to seeing them again at Thanksgiving.

Joshua and the Fair

Joshua got to go to the fair in Jackson last weekend.

Did he have fun?

Why yes, yes he did!

Thanks Coach and Nana for taking Joshua for the weekend!

Crisp fall air

Last Saturday morning was beautiful, cool and the perfect time to visit the pumpkin patch.

Here are some highlights...

Anna Ruth in blue jeans is just too cute!

  

We didn't venture into the corn maze, but it was sure pretty from the outside.

A new addition this year was the "cotton picker slide."  The kids came down the slide with such speed that they often slid right off the landing pad onto the grass.

The corn box was one of Joshua's favorite stops.
Anna Ruth screamed as soon as her feet touched the corn.

We picked out three pumpkins and hurried home to watch the Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M game.  It was a fun day!
