Fall is Fantastic!

Fall is fantastic....especially when spent with good company!
My cousin Polly, her husband Tom, and daughter Lucca have been here from Santa Fe. We have had the best time....fishing, painting, making cheese, sewing, eating, playing games, pumpkin carving, and laughing! Sure love you guys!

Lane and Tom, (Lucca in back). Fishing at Ferron


Polly and my Dad

Lane reeling in a "keeper!"


The cabin is so cozy in the Fall. We had fun just being together.
Polly and Griffin...


Polly gave the kids painting lessons. You know she is a "real" artist!! AJ created a map with volcanoes, dinosaurs, and trees.


Maddie created this secret island with rivers, trails, and sea life in the ocean.

We finished of their visit with a trip to the pumpkin patch. Maddie was set on this pretty white pumpkin!


"Cool" Pumpkin Pickers...


This was Tom's pumpkin!!


Finally Lane made his decision...


Then home to carve. Polly helped AJ design this frightful face!


Maddie designed this beauty all by herself! You can see the rest of the jack-o-lanterns at the top of my blog!

Happy Haunting!

gThe Cirolias/Eliasons are one fabulous family...they didn't carve pumpkins for me, but Polly cooked, and Tom fixed everything in my house, and a board outside, that needed attention. It was fantastic. Philip came aboard, and he was so good to "stand and hand" so between Shellie (she's in charge, when she is here, and I love it) and all of them, we had such a productive day. Your pics are darling...what beautiful kids, and so glad you made the wedding. Families are forever!
