Big Bear and Pumpkins

Steve and I flew to LA to hang out with Jo. The first night there we stayed in the Marina. The views are beautiful.

The next day we all drove to the mountains and stayed in Big Bear.  We took a day and went hiking in the San Bernardino Mts. 
We followed Castle Rock Trail and had some beautiful views.

 

Downtown Big Bear early in the morning

Josephine was worn out from all the hiking.

On the way back to LA we stopped at a pumpkin patch.

        We ate lunch in Redlands.  This was a cute alley that had restaurants in it.

Josephine makes a trip to STL!

Josephine came to town! We were all very excited to see her. She had a very busy schedule. She visited with her grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins! You had to take a number and stand in line to hold her - she's just that sweet!

 

Jena's Family Visits the Farm

Tommy, Jena & Jo came for a visit in October.  We were able to coordinate it so Jena's family could meet us at the farm.  Lots of fun was had.  (Even though the look on Jena's face says "what you looking at?")

        Jewel loved playing with the dolls.  Tommy was happy we had wifi!

 

 

We were able to squeeze in a hayride. Josephine loved it and wants to do it again!

                                                               Charlie got lots of loving.

                                  Josephine gets this look from her Mom!  "What you lookin at?"

Gussies Birthday

Gussie had his 8th birthday party at a skate park.  I was able to get a few pictures.  The rest of the time they were running around riding bikes, scooters and whatever else they had with wheels on it! Happy Birthday Gus!
