Valle Crucis Trunk or Treat

This was round one of three for this years Halloween. We've got a Halloween party at school and Banner Elk Trunk or Treat on tap for this week. We've gotten our first cold snap up here in the mountains and our first snow, so I'm glad they moved the trunk or treat inside. It was more like table hoping. 

We racked up on some pretty good candy!

Then we had a hot dog picnic with our buddy Wyatt.

Fun trunk or treat in Valle Crucis!

Superman

Ollie decided he'd be Superman for Halloween this year. I think he makes an adorable Clark Kent.

Up, up and away!

Valle Crucis Fair

 The Holy Cross Episcopal Church puts this event on every year. They have fresh, homemade apple cider, apple butter, brunswick stew and BBQ. The fair food is delicious! This is Ollie's second year going and this time he really enjoyed it!

Checking out the Alpacas

We got to pet them, which was a highlight I'm sure

Mommy and Ollie enjoying the fair

Ollie getting down to some bluegrass music

Then later, before lunch, trying to climb out of his stroller...he was successful

Trying to capture the crowd and the fall leaves. It was overcast, so you can't tell how beautiful the trees really are this time of year

The music stage...they play some great bluegrass/mountain/country music

Another fun and successful trip to the fair. We look forward to going back next year. 

The Sleepover

Ollie had his first sleepover at Wyatt's house Saturday. It was a success! He was very well behaved and had a blast staying over at the Boedefeld's house. Here's a look at all their fun. 

Fun out on the deck

Then they had a light show

All 3 boys right before bed, yes Ollie is in Rhett's baby bouncer

Just FYI, all the boys went to bed by 7:30 and slept til 7:30 the next morning! We gotta give my friend, Jenn a huge thanks for having Ollie over and taking pictures so we could see how much fun they were having!

Pumpkin Patch

Crossing the new river to get to the pumpkins

Searching for the perfect one

Ollie got his buddy, Wyatt, to help out and search with him

Lots of ground to cover 

Found one...

Got it!!
