October in the Mountains

While the weekend wasn't what we had planned, it is always refreshing to be in the mountains in the fall.  Marion and Lucy were in from Beeville, TX, Emily from Vail, Ernest and Shirley came up for the day from Asheville and we got to be with Laura some, too.  It was a true testament to what family is all about.  


While the leaves had not even begun to think about changing colors, the view from "Sunset Park" at the top of the mountain did not fail.  
Hi, Tennessee!



Emily!!!!!

 Dad's cousin, Marion, and Lucy are so wonderful about coming back East to see everyone else.

Margaret's buddy.

The Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Valle Crucis----
an awesome tradition when we're there in October!

We have much to learn from Pumpkins! 
 
 

 We got 5/6 map pieces this year, more than ever before, but we still didn't finish properly.  This is one serious corn maze!


 When the older grown ups nap, we escape 
(to keep the house quiet) and play golf!





 ...and raid the snacks in the locker rooms:-)

 We brought one carving pumpkin each for almost finishing the maze and the funkiest gourds we could find.  Thanks, Lucy, for being part of this adventure!
