Simmon's Farm

While we were in Pittsburgh, we had ONE day that it didn't rain, so we took the boys to Simmon's Farm. We took a hayride, picked pumpkins, rode a huge slide, took silly pictures with Halloween cutouts, went through a corn maze, picked Indian corn, picked apples, went to the petting zoo, drank apple cider and just had a great time. There were dozens of apple trees to pick from, but I wanted to find my favorite - honeycrisp. So, Connor went to every tree looking to see if it had honeycrisp apples. He was so disappointed that we didn't find any. He had worked so hard to help grandma! He was rewarded with an extra glass of cider and extra play time in the cornbox (a sandbox with toys, but instead of sand it had hard corn kernels). Thanks anyway, Connor! We still bought some at $2.99 lb. Ouch!

Matthew and Kasey's Wedding

Congratulations! Matthew and Kasey were married on a beautiful fall day. It was held on the anniversary of their first meeting, last year. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. After the wedding, a dinner/reception was held at an Italian restaurant downtown right on the river. The scenery was breath-taking. Jen and Laura helped me with the flowers and table decorations at the dinner.

All of the "brothers" were able to come, so that made it even more special. We all stayed in a hotel suite for 2 nights and had a lot of catching up to do. It was great to be together, again. That doesn't happen very often.

Matthew and Kasey looked so good together and they were so happy. Her dress was gorgeous and Matthew looked so handsome. On the way back up to Pittsburgh, Matthew wanted all of us to stop by their bed and breakfast honeymoon location to see it. It was really neat and reminded all of us of a haunted house on the river.

It was a great weekend. Far to short. . .
