Family Fun Fall Frolic

Mid October, the hubs had a conference in Salt Lake City, and I figured, if he got to go away, why shouldn’t we?!?!  This will be the forth year in a row I’ve had the chance to head back to Michigan in October, and I love it more, every year.

Since before I can remember, my grandpa has always taken the grandkids to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins.  Now with kids of my own, this is hands down, one of my favorite traditions ever.  This year, before we headed to the farm, all of the cousins (and my mom, aka GG) headed out for what was a beautiful fall hike.

So Syd started here, on James’ back, but wouldn't stop hollering,

So I had to take over, which meant having my hair ripped out strand by strand for a good hour.  Hence the crazy hair and crazy face look: 

Now onto family fall frolicking fun!

And then Simone’s shot

 Gosh I love that Simoney!

Syd was cashed out by the hike’s end and it was raining, so while we all unpacked, this is where she hung out.  Reason number 84 to own a mini van, you can safely keep your backpacked sleeping baby dry.

Now onto the pumpkin patch!!!
