Great Family Weekend

Maggie and Chelsea working on their pumpkins. It was so good to have them join us this year, along with Marty and William.
This is the 3rd post about our weekend, so you need to go down a couple of posts and work your way back up. Sat. and Sun were absolutely beautiful days. This by far has been the best weather we have had on our Fall Trip. Saturday started out of course by eating a big breakfast. We had the works. Then by the time we were through with that it was time to work on lunch. I made Taco Soup, Spinach Dip, Cheese Dip and Haystack Cookies. The kids went to the playground. The rest of the gang watched the Vandy game :( and played corn hole & Ladder Golf. Then it was time for the pumpkin carving. While they were doing that I made Chocolate Chip Cookies. By then it was time to start dinner. Tony did the baked potatoes in the fire pit. Sissy fixed white beans. I did green beans. The guys grilled steaks & chicken. After eating some played games and the rest sat around the fire.
Sunday morning started out again with big breakfast, same as Saturday pretty much but also had pancakes. Then it was time for the big event. Trevor got his first haircut by his Aunt Demi. He did great. He was eating chocolate chips and gummy worms, so as long as he had food, he was happy. Demi you did a great job. After the haircut, we walked down to the marina to feed the fish. They are really big carp. The rest of the gang were packing up and getting ready to leave. We just sat around pretty much all day watched the Titans and the race. I hated to see everyone leave but I'm sure going to enjoy this week up here. Looks like the weather will be pretty good until end of the week, so I should get lots of walks in. I will be here until next Sunday. :) So until next year, we had another GREAT FALL FAMILY FILLED WEEKEND I'm sure Kristin, Jamie and Sissy will have more pics on their blogs so check them out too.

After the haircut. What a handsome boy. This is one of the fish the boys were feeding. Trevor was tuckered out after his hair cut. Hey Grandma check out that big fish. Mitchell would rather eat the popcorn than feed them. Travis and Demi (Jamie's brother and sister-in-law)
