Grandparents Travel North

We were so happy to have my folks come up over Mom's fall break. We know the drive stinks, but we were glad they made it. We had fun just hanging out and playing at home together, eating out some and getting that pumpkin ready for Halloween. Here are just a few pictures from that late October weekend. I think the "southerners" were frozen from just a cool breeze, as we Minnesotans would call it :)!

Of course we had to take them to the good 'ole Spicer park, too. It was a cool day and the lake was a beautiful blue and the leaves were crunchy under our feet.

Have to throw a picture of us in here every now and then, too!

Ryan had been to the pumpkin patch at a farm about 30 miles away with his preschool class, so we opted not to make Grandma and Grandpa drive any more. Parking lot pumpkin picking is just as fun, huh?

If we are with Pa Paw Putty during pumpkin carving time, he does the drawing and then Steve does the carving... but here he takes the honorary official stab. Look out pumpkin!

PaPaw Putty takes on Ryan with some boy energy...
