October Weekend Fun

Here's a quick blog about our weekend activities. I thought it'd be good to squeeze in something current, before going back to summer fun - and it can show Jason what we've been up to, since he's currently out of town.

Yesterday, we went to visit Popop at the Farmer's Market. He works with the master gardener program in Durham and we usually go see him when he's manning the master gardener booth at the farmer's market. The kids love to say hi and LOVE to get muffnuts (aka donut muffins) from Scratch Bakery's booth.

Then today, we went on another outdoor adventure to check out the new River Walk in Hillsborough. It was a gorgeous fall day - cool enough for pants and long sleeves, but super sunny. The leaves are just starting to change here and the sunshine sparkled through the leaves. The kids fluctuated in and out of grumpy moods (Molly - "uppee! Uppee!!!!") but the paved walk was nice, we even got to see a fox harassing some ducks, learned that they used to mine for gold in Orange Co. and found a cool park to play in. Then we walked up to our favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch!

Molly FINALLY gets a ride

a horrible forced group picture - guess who was having the grumps at this moment? and who was copying her?!

Molly opted out of this one, but these two look great!

So that's what we've been up to this weekend. Along with household chores, book club, playing at Grandma and Popop's, a soccer game, and many other fun things. Happy Fall!
