On October 4th, Eliza and I attended the Waterford Fair, in Waterford Virginia,
with our good friends the Ashmore's. Waterford is a beautiful 18th century town with
beautiful original buildings. The people living there open up the town, and some
their homes, once a year during the fall. There were hundreds of local artists selling
and demonstrating their craft, live music, great food, and home made goodies.
I think our favorite part was the home made apple butter. A great time was had by all,
we can't wait to return next year. What great family tradition.
Saturday, October 10th, the whole family, along with our extended Ashmore family, took the kids to their first trip to a pumpkin patch. They had a great time seeing many different kinds of animals, I think Eliza's favorite was the rabbits, got to eat yummy food, and take a hay ride! The hay ride was a covered wagon pulled by a tractor that took us out to an impressive pumpkin patch where we picked out a small pumpkin for each of the babies. We ended our visit with pumpkin milkshakes and a fun wine tasting. We are excited about many future returns. I'm sure each year will be more fun than the last.
