Digital scrapbook pages - 4th Annual Mason and Marley Zoo Picture, Playing or reading in the leaves, Mason's first time at the Singing Christmas Tree

I have been really getting into digital scrapbooking lately. I have never really enjoyed the "crafty" part of scrapbooking and doing it digitally with templates, pictures and stories totally fits my style.

So, I thought I would share with you the latest pages that I have been working on.

Okay, that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch

This afternoon we went to Westview Creamery in Monson, MA.; our annual visit to the pumpkin patch.  It was a beautiful Fall day with beautiful views.

We fed the goats,

went on a hayride,

hunted for the perfect pumpkins,

visited the pigs,

had ice cream,

and basically enjoyed being together at this beautiful place.

Now, if we can just find time to carve all of these pumpkins!

Mike's Maze

This was our second time going to Mike's Maze in Sunderland, MA. This year's theme was Noah Webster. It was a search for words that were in the original Webster's Dictionary. It was pretty difficult. I kept thinking that Marley's father, Toby, would enjoy this year's maze.

They had corn on the cob there which was delicious. Then we headed off to do the maze.












The sign in this picture says Irene walked through Noah too. Evidently Hurricaine Irene wrecked havoc with some of the corn maze in August.



We actually never finished the maze. It was pretty hard this year. But we had fun just hanging out there.

Grandma, take a picture

Mason loves this little Halloween ghost. He saw it sitting in the cellar sometime this summer and it has been sitting in the family room ever since.

Tonight he ran in, hugged it, and said "Grandma, take a picture." I was only too happy to oblige!!

Westview Farms

Today we took our annual trip to Westview Farms, a.k.a. the pumpkin patch. This was the second year that Janelle's parents, Stacia and Joe, and sister Amy were able to meet us there.



We have been there in such a gamut of weather from cold rain, to high
80's. Today was a beautiful, if not too warm, day. It's just that when you think of pumpkin patch you think crisp fall day. Not so today - 80's.

I got the kids to pose with me near a big pumpkin sign.....





We were able to hunt for the perfect pumpkin.....







We went on the hayride.....









and looked for more perfect pumpkins.....



We had some of their famous ice cream (so good on such a hot day).....





The kids played.....





and tried to feed the goats. They weren't hungry which is almost unheard of for goats. I think it was too hot!



I love this picture. As we were leaving Marley wanted me to take a picture of.....



a grasshopper!



Baba cleaned our pumpkins (he's famous for that) and we headed home.





You couldn't have asked for a better day!
