Fall Weekend Get Together

This past weekend a bunch of families got together at Kevin and Jody's. Claude and Rebekah stayed with us for the weekend. Friday night was supper at Kevin and Jody's. Saturday we went back to their house for breakfast and spent most of the day there playing games and talking. The kids got to go outside after the rain stopped. Saturday night was a potluck/ trick or treating/ haunted house at Roger and Bonnie's barn. Then a hayride and fireworks after that. Sunday was lunch at Brad and Shelley's, then the guys took the kids for a walk in the woods while the ladies had a baby shower for Sandy Zal and their new baby Sawyer. Was a fun weekend.

Let the weekend begin!!

Sunday Afternoon Drive

After lunch we went for a drive to check out the fall foliage. We went by the Trebuchet, the contraption that they use to throw 10 lb. pumpkins 1500-2000 feet. We got there just before they threw one, the thing is amazing!! It was a great day for a drive.

All loaded and ready to fire.

And FIRE!!

Cool little electric car

The castle they aim at. The pumpkins go way beyond it tho.

Looking from the castle back at the launcher

Pretty cool machine

Sunday afternoon hike

Paxton and I hike up Pack Monadnock this afternoon. It was a nice cool fall day. Apparently a lot of people had the same idea. It was great hiking weather. The view from the top was amazing!! You could see all the way to Boston!! They have a lookout tower at the top so you can get an even better view. We decided to walk down the auto road on the way back. Paxton fell asleep on the way home and had a nice little nap.

Just starting on the hike.

King of the Rock

It is HARD work holding this rock up!!

Climbing around on the rocks.

Cool little seat!!

Up at the top of the lookout tower.

Nice view!!
