The Hoppers, NYC and Pumpkin Patch Weekend!

So I was going to split this up into several posts, but decided to do one big post instead! It was a very fun-filled weekend with Nana, Papa and Aunt Amy. Oh and did I mention hot? Yes, it was 80 degrees in October in New England! We're just as surprised as you are.





Well, onto the pictures. First off, we headed to one of favorite places nearby...New York City!

Aunt Amy and the kids at FAO Schwarz. Sophia completely fell in love with a teddy bear here, which Nana and Papa were happy to make sure she could keep!

We always have to make a stop by the giant piano. This one never gets old!

Amy and I (unintentionally) matched each other and the piano....and the little girl on the right. Stripes must be in this year!

All together now!

We had a lot of fun in New York. My favorite part of the trip was stopping for a late lunch at Carmine's. It was soooo yummy. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Elijah reading a book to everyone at breakfast. They were all listening intently!


Sunday we had lots of fun plans. Including Elijah football game a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Everyone enjoyed watching Elijah play and then going to the orchard for kettle corn and apple cider.

At Bishop's Orchard after Elijah's game. It looks fall-ish out, but it sure didn't feel that way, we were all roasting!

We cannot thank you enough for a WONDERFUL weekend!!!! We had such a good time. It was so good being with all of you. Thinking about this time last week we were just getting there; wish it was happening all over again. Loved seeing Elijah play football, and listening to him read. Sophia was precious as always. Thank you for taking us to NYC and to the pumpkin patch. Two of my favorite memories!!!! And, Cacey, you were so sweet and hospitable to us... and the meals were delicious. We love you little family!!!!
