A Cub Scout, Corn-maze, and Greenville

Griffin started Cub Scouts this year. Luckily he had a couple friends in his den to keep him interested. He has already earned some belt loops and learned a lot. He looks very handsome and official in his uniform.

We, as a family, went to a Corn-maze. We wandered around in the maze and had a lot of fun.

 I was carrying Catalina in this photo.

 Mollie and OJ.

There were also some animals to pet at the Corn-maze.

We recently visited our friends, the Brannon's, in Greenville. It was so great to see them and get the kids together. Here are the bigger kids throwing bread to some ducks in downtown Greenville near the waterfall.

 More duck feeding; looks like pigeon tried

to get in on the action too.

There was also a small downtown fair that weekend.

Griffin got to ride a fair ride.

 The Brannon's. This was our first time meeting their

youngest, Nate.

 Rachel, Nate, Mollie and Catalina.

Catalina, once again, loved a swing.

Now we go back home. Here is crawling Catalina.

 Catalina loves her brother.

 Olive June is our little skater. She is steady

and confident without assistance.

September: Apples, Billings, and Cells Birthday

So a lot has happened recently and I am trying to catch-up on the blarg. We start out with our annual trip to Hillcrest Apple Orchard. It is hard to believe we have now visited three years in a row. Below is Griffin after picking some apples.

 Then it was time to hold kittens.

Then the Billings' visited us at the end of their Civil War tour. We had a great time visiting together. It was great to see them and here is the proof.

 Catalina and Grampy.

Then it was my turn.

 Good times at the Playground.

Bath time.

She is always entertaining these days.

 Another cute pose.

Finally we have a couple photos from Griffin's New Cells Birthday. The Cole's let us have the party at their house which was super fun. All the kids ran around into the night hocked-up on sugar. One of the things they worked on was huge banner. They had a lot of fun.

 

Birthday cake time.
