All the 4 year old classes at Drew's school went on a field trip to Carrigan Farms this past week. Emma and I wen too. Here's Emma feeding the pony.
Emma and I in the pumpkin patch!
Drew didn't have much to do with Emma and I - he was too busy running around and acting crazy with his buddies! Here he is with Owen and Jack W.
And I got a picture of them running by! Here he is with Jack W. and Jack S. (Yes, there are two Jacks in Drew class, and it cracks Chad up that they call one of them JackS!! LOL) I was pretty frustrated with how wild and crazy Drew was on this field trip...apparently he and Jack W. are best buddies and act like nuts together...I'm concerned this is how he's acting at school. At least his teacher seemed happy with him when I met with her for parent conferences earlier in the week!
I got them to sit together with their pumpkins long enough to take a picture =)
Emma loved the hayride and she loved the 2 golden retrievers that were there! In this picture I think she was watching the dogs swim in the pond!
We went to the pumpkin patch with Grant and Sherry, and then Drew had a field trip to the pumpkin patch, and then Susan and Alan brought us a couple more pumpkins...we have LOTS of pumpkins! We have only had one not make it...the bottom right one is rotton and needs to be thrown away!
This Saturday was the LKNM Trunk or Treat event. Emma was a little black cat (you can't see her tail in the picture!) and Drew was a red lego (his costume is sitting beside them...he couldn't sit in it! oops!). Here they are sharing some McDonalds in the back of the Jeep before the event really got started.
Emma was a little bit clingy and wanted to be held for the first part of the event...wouldn't even smile for a picture...
Family picture (Chad and I didn't dress up like a lot of the adults)...and Emma still wouldn't smile.
But give the girl some juice and dessert and she's all smiles again! Here's the lego costume! Drew entered the costume contest and a kid in a homemade R2D2 costume clearly won...but Drew was a very obvious runner up! (it was by applause). Chad did a great job with his costume!
Then on Sunday, we went up to Blowing Rock. We discovered an awesome one mile paved trail around Bass Lake. It was beautiful there! There were quite a few bare trees, but still tons of colorful ones too! The weather was in the high 50s and sunny...perfect! Here's Emma finishing up her Capri Sun before we went for our walk. We brough KFC to eat before we walked - even Drew had some! (we found out the extra crispy is dairy free!)
There were 2 swans in the pond - they were so pretty! I was surprised how long they would keep their heads under water!
Here's part of our crew heading out on the walk!
Emma was walking backwards and playing around with Nana. She thought Nana was so funny!
Here's the kids with their Granddad and their Nana.
It was such a pretty trail! Here's Nana, Drew and Grandmom.
Drew and Nana were taking a break.
The kids were being silly!
I love this picture of Drew!
Emma was done walking about halfway through the trail...but this made her happy!
Me and the kids! =)
Family picture!
Emma got a big sloppy kiss from this friendly guy!
Nana and I...we were talking about how her leg was hurting a little bit. And she said, "Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's just old age. It can sneak up on you, you know?" =) Yeah, that might happen at almost 88 years old...she is in amazing shape!
The kids with their grandparents
After the mountains, we went back to Lenoir and the kids played on the playground at the school Susan works at. It's a great playground!
I'm so glad we did the trip to the mountains. I wanted to see pretty leaves and get lots of good family pictures...mission accomplished! We had a great time!
Oh yeah...I need to add...EMMA IS POTTY TRAINED! On Thursday night she decided that she wanted to wear undies and use the potty...and that was that! Even through all this stuff we did over the weekend, she did great and had NO accidents! We were gone for over 3 hours at Trunk or Treat, and she stayed dry and went potty when we got home! I am still in shock...but totally proud of her!!
