Zeke had a great time last night trick-or-treating with his cousins. After three years I think he's finally getting the hang of it.

We were going to try to do homemade costumes this year but I kept putting it off and we ended up going to the store and letting Zeke one out. I wasn't surprised at all when he informed us that he wanted the dinosaur costume. He was so excited about it and tried it on every chance he got(he even put it back on this afternoon).

And of course Ellie looked super cute in her ladybug costume we borrowed from a friend.

Ellie's been pulling herself up and cruising for some time now and just recently she's been playing around with the idea of taking steps. She's taken as many as seven steps in one try. Here's a video of one of her early attempts.

Blake's parents gave Zeke a Halloween gingerbread house kit this year. Blake sat down with Zeke and helped him put it together. Blake did most of the construction and icing but Zeke helped out with the candy decorations. He had so much fun and was very proud of his little house.

I really enjoyed the first half of our fair going experience. The weather was nice, the kids were happy and we got plenty of fried food. Towards the end of our trip the fair was just way too crowded and hot and the kids were exhausted. We missed a couple of things that we usually do but we also did something new. We went across the street and saw some of the horse show that was going on. Zeke absolutely loved it and we got to get off our feet. Here's a few photos.

We went to this old cotton plantation and picked some cotton and visited all the old homes and buildings there. It was a beautiful fall day and we practically had the place to ourselves.

I think Zeke's favorite part was a little play area they had in the visitors center.

Little Eleanor doesn't get nearly enough face time on our blog so I decided to put up a few of our favorite pictures of our sweet little girl.

We got to enjoy the Mountains for a few days this summer. We went to the Apple Orchard, Linville Cavern and Tweetsie Railroad. Here are some of the pictures I was able to snap.

I think Monkey Joe's is one of Zeke's favorite places to go. Here are some pictures from a recent visit.
