Vacation to the Berkshires

In mid-October we had the opportunity to take a fun trip to the Berkshires in Massachusetts! The Berkshires is a beautiful area western Massachusetts that is especially radiant during the fall months. The mountains are filled with beautiful autumn leaves that make for some of the most breath taking views. 

It was an especially fun time because not only did we have everyone but Geoff, Megan, and Nate there, but we ALSO were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Tucker there! It's always fun when all of the cousins get together and especially fun when they get to be with their great-grandparents. 

I really should have written this post sooner so that I could remember all of the fun things that we did! We all stayed in a few time share units at the Wyndham there and it was awesome. We did a bit of hanging around our place and thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool...in October! This place had a fun indoor-outdoor pool.  We had beautiful weather while we were there and got to do a lot of exploring! We got to take a bunch of family pictures while exploring. We also went to a really fun farm that had a pumpkin patch and all kinds of fun fall activities for the kids!

A rainy start on the way up

Sure love these kiddos

This picture cracks me up. I swear we had fun! Hahaha.

Silly little girl.

Jimmie loved this sensory bin in the barn!

And everyone...

Loved fishing for the ducks.

And everybody loves the cows!

Even pretending to milk the fake one.

And bouncing on these horses? You about can't beat it.
  
But going on a wagon ride in bucket cows...it about takes the cake!

We might not be able to take a picture all together with everyone looking...but we sure love each other :)

Happy 1st Birthday, Dawson!

We've loved getting to live so close to the Oxborrow family since they moved here! Dawson has grown from just a little babe into one of the coolest, sweetest little toddlers around.

In October, Dawson turned 1! We had a fun time celebrating with family. The kids had a blast with the pizza, the cake, and especially the new toys :) Here are some pictures from his fun party!
