October traditions

Many families have traditions that they try to keep year in and year out. Some have yearly family reunions or make sure they get together during Thanksgiving or Christmas. Well, our October tradition with our extended family started for us- I guess last year. We try normally go to a lot of haunted houses...which this year we didn't get to go to a single one. Which could be because we are all getting so old;) But the tradition that I want to make sure we keep -is going to Old Baker's Farm in Harpersville to pick pumpkins!! 

It is so much fun! This year we did things a little differently. We started our day at the house eating left over soups and grilled sandwiches-yummmmm. Then we all- Cassie, Paul, Heather, Michael, Jan, Collin, Stephanie, Zach and I loaded up in 2 vehicles and drove to the farm. I was afraid there wouldn't be any pumpkins left but there were definitely plenty to choose from! We got to watch a war reenactment, pick our pumpkins and enjoy the fall festivities! 

After we picked our pumpkins and Heather had some "slap yo mama" roasted corn that had our mouths on fire we loaded up and headed right down the street to Morgan Creek winery! There we sipped wine, took a tour and relaxed outside in the beautiful air.

Jan got a little bored and Paul's head was hurting so we loaded back up and headed home !

BUT- a few of us decided our day wasn't done! So first we trekked to World of Beer

and having horrible service went to JT's Bar and met up with Big Rex. After watching a delightful costume contest and playing some pool it was definitely time to call it a night--err early morning;)
