October traditions

One of Erin's best friends got married in Lexington this past weekend, so she and the kids came up on Tuesday to spend the week. As always, the girls had a lot of fun playing with each other. And, Bridger has graduated from the happiest baby ever to the happiest toddler ever. You do have to watch him carefully, though, because he is FAST and things he shouldn't have seem to magically appear in his hands! He loved watching the girls play and seemed quite upset that he couldn't quite keep up with them yet. I imagine that won't last for long!



He also is turning into a budding musician, and was very cute to watch singing and playing Elizabeth's piano.




We took the kids on our annual trip to the pumpkin farm on Friday. It was very crowded, since we managed to show up during several school field trips, but they still had a fun time.











Here are some comparison shots from past pumpkin farm visits:
