Fall Festival, Halloween, and Grandparent Visit

October is the best month. The weather is nice, the trees are turning colors, and the food is delicious.  Plus, Halloween is my favorite holiday.  I was so excited to share all these wonders with Graham.  Early in the month, we took him to a fall festival.  I loved this particular festival in Germantown, Maryland at Butler's Orchards.  There was food, live music, a hay ride, and a pumpkin patch.  Graham had a wonderful time playing on the toys and with the pumpkins.

Graham made a perfect Pinocchio....and Trent was the best Geppetto around.  Seriously, am I a lucky girl or what.  He will someday be a good looking old man!  Graham was amazed by all the commotion that is Halloween.  He loved seeing the costumes and decorations.  We attend our wards Trunk or Treat and made our car into a whale.  We won Best Car!  Halloween night we went to Old Town Alexandria.  There is an idyllic street where most of the historic homes are decorated and handing out candy.  Some even have spook allies. 

In early November, my parents traveled from Idaho to Arizona and drove to see us.  Graham loved having them here.  He laughed so much with his Grandpa... my dad is pretty silly and Graham ate it up.  While they were here we were able to see some sights that we had not made it to.  We went to the Dulles Air and Space Museum, the Woodlawn Plantation, the Pope-Leighey House built by Frank Loyd Wright, the Botanical Gardens, and the Frederick Douglass House.
