OCTOBER FUN






Adventures for October included a beautiful weekend on Racquette Lake in the Adirondaks. We were there during peak "peeping" season. (Peeping refers to seeing the changing leaves during the fall). We stayed in a quaint little cabin on the lake and did a couple hikes which produced some amazing views. Mason enjoyed both his first pony ride and train ride during this trip.





























We spent one weekend in New York City to visit Mark's cousin, Julie, her husband, Bill and their three sons. Not a typical adventure for us- but anytime we drive more than three hours we consider it an adventure. We had a great time at the Bronc Zoo and our delicious chocolate desserts afterwards were adventurous in and of themselves.













October also brought about pumpkin hunting, carving and costumes. Mason was so into Halloween this year. Half the time we had to relate his food or activities to Halloween in order for him to try it! He dressed up as a gorilla and as of today (11/14/07) our carved pumpkins are still decorating the outside of our house.

I just glanced at the picture of you and Mason with the pumpkin and thought you chopped your hair. Did you, or is it the picture. It looks fabulous!!!

Hey Jo- yep! I truly cut all my hair. I really like it. You are the first person to notice! So observant! Miss you! I will add more to this blog soon.
