Fall Happenings

The last few weeks of October have been spent watching James play basketball (the top picture is of Audrey eating her supper on the bleachers), a scarecrow festival downtown and more running. Two weekends ago Noah and I ran the 1st annual 5K trail run at Titcomb Mountain (our local ski "mountain").  This was pretty challenging for Noah (and me) because it was running on an unfamiliar hiking/mountain biking trail up one side of the mountain and down the other... plus it was fall and the leaves covering the wet ground made conditions less than ideal.... we both fell more than once:) He finished it though and was pretty proud of himself at the finish line.  Last weekend we ran in a more traditional 5K road race supporting the Fit Girls of Wilton club with a beautiful run along the lake.  This felt like a piece of cake compared to the previous race and Noah easily beat his previous best time by over a minute.  I don't think that it will be too long before he can out run me...

Last Sunday after church we checked the corn maze and pumpkin patch off our list for the fall and had a really fun time with friends trying to navigate the "big maze".  It did start raining, but not until we finished so we were very thankful for that! That night we got our pumpkins carved and are now ready for Halloween.
