Pumpkin Walk - 293/365

This morning, I took some pictures for a really cool family down at Fellows Riverside Gardens. 

I did some pictures for them last year, so I was honored they chose me again. They had 11 total people, which made it a little chaotic, but super fun. They all have a great sense of humor and kept you laughing the whole time. We got some great shots, that I can't wait for them to see. 

Also today, my mom and I got to stop over our friend Robert's house to pick up some Butterfly Bushes. Robert has the most beautiful garden at his house and he takes amazing pictures of the flowers, butterflies and his deer friends. It was so great to finally see everything in person. We are beyond thrilled to have some butterfly bushes, too! We're already looking forward to Spring to watch them grow. 

While I was at the photo shoot, Jim and Reagan met Grandma, Papa Greg, Adrienne, Jillian and Evan for lunch. They all met at Holy Family Church in Poland for a Spaghetti Dinner to benefit the local Help Hotline. They had a nice time.

This evening, we were heading back up to Fellows Riverside Garden for the Pumpkin Walk at Twilight. We have gone the past three years and just love it. It's so great to see all the cool pumpkins people carve.

 We met Raymond, Jennifer, Nikki, Greg, Adrienne, Jillian and Evan. We enjoyed walking down all the brand new paths lined with pumpkins. They have really done a great job with the new walkways. Reagan and Jillian had a great time going from pumpkin to pumpkin. It was so cute! 

They even had a "kids band" in the gazebo by the overlook, where the Reagan and Jillian did a bit of dancing. The girls just love boogieing down. 

The rest of the crew, decided they were heading home for the evening. In the meantime, Rachel had sent a message that they were just getting there. Jim, Reagan and I weren't quite ready to leave, so we stayed to walk around with Ron, Rachel and Parker for a little bit. Ron Sr, Sharon and Milana, just hung out in the Davis Center while we walked around. 

Reagan and Parker had a blast running up and down the field lined with pumpkins. It is just so fun to watch them really start to play and get along. They are going to be great friends. 

After they tired themselves out from all their running, we heading into the Davis Center to check out the cookies and apple cider. It was actually quite calm down there, for the crowd they had outside. The kids loved sitting together in the chairs, chowing on their cookies. 

Ron Sr. bought two glow necklaces for the kids. He gave Reagan and Parker each one. Reagan was just thrilled. When we were walking to the car, she was playing with it and I said, "That was really nice of Mr. Musilli to give you that, huh?" She replied, "No mama, Big Ron gave me this." It was a hoot! 

 It was a really great evening.

Finally, Ray, Jenn and I after Jim took about a billion pictures of us in one shot. LOL!
