Thanksgiving weekend in Rochester

After Thanksgiving at our house, we headed to Rochester on Friday.  We had dinner at Omi's and hung out with lots of family.  On Saturday we went to the Rochester Zoo with the Langes.  It was a little bit chilly out, but that just meant that the zoo was pretty empty.  The animals were out and active though, which the kids loved!

This isn't the best picture of any of us, but I wanted to show how little Aaron was all snuggled up in his stroller.  He was so cute, all snuggly warm!

The rhinos were inside.  Cameron especially enjoyed checking them out, they were so big!

Leah and Bridgette

It's a bird, it's a plane... no wait, it actually is a bird (not surprising, since we were in the aviary).

So much cuteness in this picture - Abby, Leah, Bridgette, and Cam

The tiger was right up near the fence, very cool

 Cute Leah in the tunnel

On Sunday morning before we headed home, we stopped over to see Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa.

GG and Aaron

Great-Grandpa's turn!

And now all three kids with their great-grandparents.  What an amazing picture!!

Halloween!

Today Cameron had a half day of school for Halloween.  They didn't do anything special in his class for Halloween - no party, no costumes, no activities.  I thought that was a little weird.  Nana picked Cameron up from school and brought him to meet us at the YMCA to watch Leah and Aaron's daycare Halloween parade.  Great-grandpa and Great-grandma were in town so they got to come to the parade too!

Here comes Leah's class!

What a pose!!

Around again, this time she's got her wand in her mouth.  What a goof!

And here comes Aaron's class, with Aaron leading the way

What an adorable little monkey

After the parade, it's time for a Halloween snack

Oops, monkey fell over!

Okay, let's try this sitting down so everyone can hold up the little monkey who is just learning to sit up.

Outside with their pumpkins, brought over to Nana's house to decorate for Halloween night

Here they go!

Heading to the next house

Monkey Aaron rode in Mama's sling

We go in the same order every year, stopping at all of the neighbors' houses so they can see the cute kiddos.

Trick or Treat!!

What a haul!

What an adorable little guy

And so big too! He is just learning to sit up.  So, so cute!!

The kids got a ton of great candy and were very excited about it.  Happy Halloween!

A Weekend in Massachusetts

We spent a weekend in Massachusetts, seeing Mimi and Grandpa and the Borsts.  One of our favorite things to do with Mimi and Grandpa is go for a walk.  Especially on a nice fall weekend!

Mimi and Aaron are all wrapped up in their coat and blanket to stay snuggly warm!

Great picture of Leah, Cam and Grandpa!

Leah got tired of walking so she hitched a ride on Mama's shoulders

Cameron found a football and a stick - what more does a boy need?

We made quite a parade on our walk

Football fun

Cameron's face in this picture cracks me up!

Grandpa and Cam walking out on the dock

Another cute picture of Grandpa and Cam

The crisp fall air and the walk tuckered Mr. Aaron right out!

The next day we went to hang out with the Borsts.  We visited an apple farm and spent time at their house.  Of course all of the cousins had a wonderful time together.
