October birthdays in Georgia

We have several birthdays in October so we usually take a trip to Georgia and celebrate them all together. Scott's brothers Matt and Mike were both born on October 5 (5 years apart.) And Scott's Dad and Ryan share October 19 as a birthday. I won't say how many years apart. :) We had some fun at Victoria Bryant State Park in Georgia. It was a nice day except for those stinking yellowjackets and of course the way the day ended. Jessica's (Mike's wife) car went off a steep embankment and flipped 3 and 1/2 times. It was an amazing miracle that she walked away with no major wounds. We pray her hands and feet heal soon.

Pumpkin Patch Pickin' @ Old Baker's Farm

This year we went to a new Pumpkin patch just south of Birmingham and had a wonderful time; althought my battery went dead on our camera so I had to take some shots with our video camera. I haven't uploaded those yet so come back to see the "perfect" pumpkins we all picked. We liked this farm better than last year because they had so many more pumpkins and they were still on the vines. There were also so many cute things for the kids to enjoy at this farm.
John Deer look out!

Ryan loved the Cotton bail bounce. Who needs giant inflatables?


I think the hay maze got the best of him. He looks so confused.

Nope...that was a dead end too.

Camping Trip

We missed the family campout on Labor Day weekend because we just had Aiden. But now that he was a whopping 7 weeks old we thought he was big enough to brave the wild outdoors. He did great. But the weekend didn't start out so great. We were going to camp at Oak Mountain State Park just on the south side of Birmingham. I was going to go out to the campground and get our site and then Scott was going to meet us there after work. Well when I got there the campground was full-no campsites available. So plan b- Scott called several other parks in Alabama and they were full too. We couldn't believe it, but we finally found a site available at Wind Creek State Park near Auburn....I know we weren't sure if wanted to go there just becuase it was Auburn country. But we drove the hour and 1/2 down there and set up our camp in the dark. That night we were exhausted but the rest of the weekend proved to be restful and tons of fun!


Daddy's big helper!


Yes that really is Scott changing a diaper in the tent.
