Pumpkin Time

Ollie went to our local,town made, pumpkin patch in banner elk last week.  He had fun looking at all the different kinds of pumpkins and choosing the perfect one!

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch



Fall in Valle Crucis

This fall in the high country has been beautiful!  The weather could not have been more perfect.  Ollie has enjoyed going to the park in the afternoons and the fair last Saturday.

Happy Fall Y'all

This week in the mountains we have had such perfect fall weather.  The leaves are in full color, the days are mild with cool mountain breezes and the nights are just cold enough to turn the heat on.  Yesterday Ollie had a fun fall day outside.

Play in the leaves

Fun on the neighbors swing

"I love to swing!"

Swing time with his girlfriend Campbell

His new favorite this week...He's starting to get into everything



OKTOBERFEST

This weekend we all went to Oktoberfest at Sugar Mountain.  We had fun enjoying the gorgeous fall weather and hanging out with friends.  Ollie really liked all the Oktoberfest activities!

 

Having fun listening to the Oom Pah Band

Ollie hanging out with one of the Dirndal Girls.  This is our friend, Kristen, she really gets into all the festivies and she also serves the beer.

Happy boy afterwards at dinner at The Bayou



Here Piggy Piggy

Ollie's friend, Wyatt just got a little baby pig, named Pig.  So of course we had to go see the pig!  Also, this is a domestic pig.  Our friends do not live on a farm or anywhere near a farm, but they got a pig....I don't know why

Feeding "Pig"

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed that more than Ollie

Having fun on an afternoon walk to the swing in our neighbors yard

Snuggling up on the swing, it was kind of chilly that day

Ollie's New Friend

This weekend we went to visit our friends, Eric and Amanda.  They just had a baby boy 5 weeks ago and his name is Charlie.  We took Ollie over to meet his new little buddy and to have dinner and hangout for the evening.  Ollie didn't really know what to think at first, but he warmed up to Charlie after a little while.  We're going through this "strangers/unfamilar places are scary at first phase"

Hmmmm....I don't know about this

Oh so you can cry loud too

What's up buddy?

Comparing a 1 month old to a 10.5 month old.  Ollie looks huge next to Charlie!

I kind of like hanging out with this kid

Fun with Ollie

Ollie is so much fun to hangout with on the weekends or anytime, but the weekends are the best because everyone is home!  He seems to always be laughing about something and definitely has a grin on his face most of the time!  We got into a few silly little things this last weekend.

We went hiking at Trout Lake with Daddy and Pungo

Trout Lake where we say lots of people on horses and lots of people walking their dogs.  Ollie thinks all animals are funny at this point.  He laughs at our dogs all the time! He really enjoyed seeing the "big dogs" aka the horses.

Ollie's new favorite thing to do is hang upside down

Being silly sticking his tongue out while being held upside down.  He will let you do this upside down thing for hours, but my arms are only strong enough for a few minutes at a time.

Enjoying pizza at the Mellow Mushroom

Swinging in his Pj's.  FYI it's 1:30 in the afternoon and we still have our Pj's on
