Nivens 2012!

Things have been so crazy around here that I never got to finish blogging about our weekend trip to Spartanburg! The last few posts had pictures from our trip to Spartanburg, but here's the ones from our fun day at Nivens.  This was supposed to be our annual apple picking trip, but they were completely wiped out of apples... so we picked pumpkins instead.  We had a blast!

 

Ready for some adventure!

 

Family of 4...

...soon to be 5!

 

 

Showing their true colors?

 

 

                          The totem "got me"!                                    26 weeks :)

 

 

My 3 handsome boys!

 

 

Sitting on a huge pumpkin!

 

Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We tried to get a picture of all 3 grandkids...

but it just wasn't really meant to be!

 

Christopher (2), Michael (4), Violet (22 months)

 

 

Michael preferred the "pink" pumpkins

so we stopped by one for a family picture :)

 

Pink Pumpkin!!!!!

 

 

A second shot at getting a picture of all 3 kids...

Humorous and interesting...

 

 

Gag reel - pics of all 3 kids :)

 

 

Christopher just had to "help" push Violet in the wagon.

 

"I do it, Daddy!"

 Checking out our pumpkin loot.

 

 

 Violet was pretty excited about the wagon, too.  :)

 

 

Nivens was wiped out of apples,

but Casey climbed up really high to

get the only 3 apples left that looked decent.

See Casey in the tree?

 

"Mommy, I found one!"

 

Me and my boys :)

They were happier after they got an apple!

 

 

 

Daddy found a 4 leaf clover! 

Sending some good luck our way!

                                                      Mommy loves holding hands!

 

SAD to leave!!!

"More apples, Daddy!"

 

Tractor time!

 

Fun, fun, fun!

 

 

The 'official' family picture

 

The kids had a blast playing on their play equipment...

 

"Mommy, I can bounce all the way around!"

"Watch me!"

 

All 3 at once...

 

SO happy!
