Fall Festivities

We had a busy weekend filled with lots of fun fall festivities. I just love everything about Fall, and it was nice to get to spend the whole weekend outdoors enjoying it with the gorgeous weather that we had! Saturday started out with my 10 year reunion picnic. I decided last minute to go and ended up enjoying getting to see friends and lots of faces that I hadn't seen in years. It's so hard to believe that 10 years have gone by since I graduated! Then we headed out to Crawford to visit the Ranch (pics on post below). The day ended with a fun and adorable 2nd birthday party for James' buddy Creighton.

Nicki and me 10 years later! We are due 2 weeks apart!

Today we went to a Children's Garden Fair at the Carleen Bright Arboretum. This was a really neat event for kids with lots of fun activities to do, such as rock painting, a scavenger hunt, potting plants, popping corn on the cob, and lots of other things. We all enjoyed it, even though most of it was for kids a little older than James, and we even managed to get a few good pumpkin patch pictures of him (on our third try)!
