Fall fun

We had started a tradition of going to Michigan to pick apples and attend a fall festival there, but found out about a month before that the fall festival and the place it was being held was closed. We were bummed because it was a place my family grew up going. But Auntie Kiki and Auntie Nancy didn't let that ruin the fun. They found us another place to stay in Wisconsin.
We were having trouble trying to decide how to mark Grammy & Poppy's 50th wedding anniversary and treated them to the trip. We had a really cool house to stay in and had fun discovering a new area.
We went to an Octoberfest complete with German food, music and dancing.

What a fun thing to do for the 50th anniversary (I'm a firm believer that "TIME" is the best gift ever!). Anyways, looks like everyone had a blast. And I have to admit that I am very impressed that all three of your boys allowed for someone to paint them. That is something that my guys would not let happen :-(. Brave! Brave! Brave!
