Happy Halloween!

This year Wyatt decided he wanted to be BATMAN and Ava was the PIRATE FAIRY, although she wouldn't wear the wings when it was time to go trick-or-treating.

Mariner came up to see the kids in their costumes. While John and I took the kids around she hung back at the house to hand out candy. The kiddos collected a ton of candy again this year from the neighbors.

All in all our night was a success! We ended up having our new neighbors join us around the camp fire and had a great time laughing late in to the night!

Ava showing how she really felt about wearing the wings and headband. Oh well!

Apple Pickin'

What a beautiful fall day at Grave's Mountain Apple Festival.

Apple picking, hay ride, pumpkin patch and plenty of sunshine!

Planes & Party

September is definitely Birthday Month for this Family. Earlier in the month we held a surprise 60th for Al. Celebrated Cam turning 6. Got Frozen when Ava turned 2. Then to top it all off PA came to VA and we celebrated Callie turning 4, John turing 35, and Mom turing FABULOUS!

At the Air Plane Show:

Back at the Cottage: We played in the pool and learned that homemade silly-puddy is a BAD IDEA!

Callie requested an Easter Egg Hunt… Who could say "no" to that?

Ava's Birthday Weekend

Since we took Ava to see Frozen on her birthday, the next day we just had have a little party. Everyone needs an excuse to have cake and balloons!

Marnier and Grady made it cottage a Frozen wonderland for our little Princess.
