October Fun

Ryan had a very busy October.  The weather was beautiful in Charlottesville, so we spent almost every weekend out exploring.  We also made a trip to Richmond to visit some great friends.  Here are some fun pics from our adventures this month.

Ryan loves apples!  Ever since we visited Carter Mountain Orchard on his birthday, he has learned the word "apple" and always wants to eat them.  This was his first attempt at eating the apple straight off the core.

When the weather is nice, Ryan is always asking Mommy and Daddy to take him to another winery around Charlottesville.  This time, we decided to get fancy and visit the new "Trump" winery.  Ryan brought his sunglasses so he would fit in with the classy crowd.

Ready for his close up...

Mommy was pretty excited to take pictures of the "Trump" logo.

October 24 was Daddy's birthday. 

We celebrated at home and then again with our friends in Richmond.  Sara and her new baby Vaughan came to visit and we all got together at the Nolde's house.  What a great night!

Look at this crew!  The moms all went to high school together. 

In his down time, Ryan likes to work on new hairstyles.  Here he uses banana to form a mohawk.

And then a cheese stick as a hair extension...

Another beautiful weekend, and where's Ryan?   Jefferson vineyards for an outdoor bluegrass concert.  With plenty of adult supervision of course...

Pumpkin Patch

Last month we took Ryan to the pumpkin patch in honor of the beautiful fall weather and Halloween.  We had a great time! 

Obviously the dirtier the pumpkin the better.

Ryan may have a future in farming.

We took a hayride...

and after attempting an escape....

Ryan sat back and enjoyed it!

There were several activities for kids which were even more fun than the pumpkin patch itself.

Cornhole again!

Ryan was even brave enough to walk through this long dark tunnel all by himself!
