Plymouth Plantation

We went to Plymouth Plantation last week.  I thought it would be appropriate since Thanksgiving is this week. I was sure if Ryan and his friend would be bored or enjoy it.  They seem to enjoy it. I'm glad. We went with our friends, Laura, Griffin and Felix. There were many kids there that day on field trips. The boys did stay with us for the most part.  Ryan was behaved for the most part, the only time he was acting fresh was when he was hungry and tired. It was suppose to rain that day but the rain held up until we left Thank Goodness.

 Ryan was a little nervous on the boat. One, because he gets nervous on boats anyways. Two, heights make him nervous too and we had to go up a rump to get on the ship.

 Lastly, we went to Plymouth Rock.  After a long,tired day and fussy day.

October

Since we didn't have a computer for the month October. Here is what you missed. Above Ryan playing in the leaves. Ryan and I both dressed up for Halloween. He was Batman and I was Wonder Women. We had fun. We went to a couple parties.

We took Ryan to his first Renaissance Fair. We had fun.

we saw jousting.

Even a female jouster.

Ryan got a dragon face paint. He loves dragons. Sometimes he pretends he is a dragon.

We went pumpkin picking. It was a HOT day. Ryan wore shorts and short sleeves in Oct. We got a 20lb pumpkin. that is the biggest one we have ever gotten.

This is our jack o lantern. I cut the face but Ryan told me how he wanted it cut.

We made a "Pumpkin Man" We a book and it was about a "pumpkin man". So, Ryan wanted to make one of our own. We used old clothes, a pumpkin head and leaves stuffed in the clothes. We went to a Halloween party at our friends house (Laura, Griffin and Felix). This is Ryan and Griffin. Griffin is Luigi (as Mario and Luigi video game).

They had a pumpkin pinata. Ryan really whacked it. Everyone thought he was going to take it down. But a grown up did.

this is Ryan dressed as a robot knight. He really likes robots.

This Ryan in the SNOW IN OCTOBER. We have never gotten snow in Oct. before. I bought him snow boots the day before because I knew he would want to play in the snow with new snow boots. He out grew his snow boots from last year.

Halloween, our house all really for trick or treaters.

Lastly, he wore this to school on Halloween. It was a black and orange party. I helped out that day at ryan's school. He was behaved and the school was great. We made the right choose to send him there.

That was our month of October.
