Teen Halloween

Quick pics before they ditch us for the night to be with their friends.

 

Drew Farm

I've always wanted to attend this spectacular pumpkin walk at Drew Farm, but it generally interferes with trick-or-treat.  This year they hosted the event the evening before, so I was super excited to finally make it there.  The pictures don't do them justice, but the pumpkins were truly amazing!

Bree and her friends from Flowers2Empower volunteered at Carve for Carson today, helping with pumpkin painting and facepainting.  My cute kitty got her own face painted during some downtime.  

 

Pumpkin Carving

 

Forced Family Fun

Little hike at Great Brook Farm.

 

Outsiders Day

Bree's class just finished reading the Outsiders.  Extra credit to those who dress up as a "greaser" or a "soc" today.  I think she's pulling off the "soc" look pretty well in Sean's old letter jack.  

 

Adam Sandler Spirit Day

Whoever heard of such a thing?!?😂

 

Halloween Classic

Feels like forever since our last swim meet!  We're at MIT this weekend kicking off the new short course season.

 

New Suit - So Cute!

 

Friday Night Football

Growing up WAY too fast!!

 

The Neverending Blackbelt Test

I've lost track of what round we're on now, but she's getting closer.  One more test left after today (I think!!)

 

Goodbye Vermont!

 

Sunday Funday

The State Park had a very cool disc golf course around the property.  Sean and Aiden played the course, and I tagged along.

It's Sunday in the fall, so that means the Patriots are playing.  <insert eye roll here>  The boys HAD to go to a bar to watch the game (in the middle of our camping trip!!!), so Bree and I explored the town of Manchester.  We went out for Thai food, did a little shopping, and found an awesome little candy store while the boys got their football fix. 

On the drive back to the campgroud, we happened upon this marble quarry.  The kids had a blast climbing the giant slabs and giving me heart failure.

Slightly unsafe bridge with a "guard rail" (sort of) on one side only....

Dusk at our campsite.  Love when we can be lakeside.  There wasn't an easy path down to the water directly from our campsite, but it was enough that we could enjoy the view.

 

Vermont - Lake St. Catherine State Park

Squeaking in one more camping trip before the close of the season.

Busted online shopping while we were in the middle of a hike. 😅

No idea what the relic was, but it was quite intriguing....

Was hoping for better foliage.  Guessing next weekend will be closer to peak up here.

Forest lounge chair.

It was definitely NOT wading weather.  This kid is NUTS!!

 

Date Night

Aiden's a a birthday party.  Mom's at her 25th (!!!) college reunion.  So it's daddy-daughter date night.
