grandpa visits

grandpa came to visit us for the weekend! grandma was supposed to come with him, but was sadly under the weather. we of course visited a pumpkin patch (if you come here in october, it's just going to happen, totally unavoidable) and carved our pumpkins that evening. we did some other things during the weekend, but i did not document them. we love, love, love to have visitors and beckett and heath are so excited whenever family comes. grandpa should probably come back soon and bring grandma with him... since she missed the pumpkin patch! tragedy! here are too many pictures of pennebaker boys in pumpkins. this patch is SO picturesque... there are just no ugly views here people. 

the east coast!

we went on a trip to the east coast! we met up with yiayia and uncle sean and spent a week split between connecticut, new york, and new jersey. it was a whirlwind trip, but it was so fun to see some of the sights and to see where uncle sean is living and to go to an equestrian show he was competing in. we also got to go spend a day with matt's cousin bria and her two sweet kiddos, visit ripley's believe it or not museum, see the lion king on broadway (WHAT?! it was amazing), and visit central park. After this trip we got to mark off THREE states on our united states to visit map... now we're a fifth of the way through the 50 states. We also celebrated yiayia's birthday and our anniversary. whew! big trip. the actual traveling went exactly like i expected it to go, but matt said never so far again with a toddler. ha. thanks for the memories east coast, we will see you again one day, i'm sure!
