Our "Incredible" Fall '11

Our adventures took us from summer into fall. Check it out...

My manager at work generously invited us to attend the 2011 Fall Gala at the Boston Public Library. Could proudly say that I had the hottest date.

Now on to Halloween - we got our protein on the frightful night from some "Halloweenies" or "Mummy Dogs".

This year we went out as The Incredibles! (what else are you going to do with a baby named Jack?)

Katie's parents came out and they visited Salem. Chris spent the time gathering sticks, as usual.

Grandpa in the stocks.

Q: What is Jack's favorite restaurant?

The boys gathering pumpkins.

When Chris is not gathering sticks, he's playing in the mud.

Two-day trip out to the Berkshires.

Hotel pool.

Sunday stroll at The Head of the Charles regatta.

Trying out our costumes at our ward party.

Me giving into Chris' petitions for "a taste".

Katie made delicious Halloween cupcakes!

Jack-Jack in the tub-tub.

Katie made an awesome coconut cake. We decided to throw on some candles to make it a very merry un-birthday.

Jack at the park.

Looking at Pumpkins at Wilson Farm (home of the best Apple Cider Donuts)

Lastly, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you conclude the blog post with a visit to this video. Chris showing his break dance moves. Chris was walking through the mall and couldn't resist when he heard the music from A&F. He walked in and this is what happened.

Thanks for visiting! Next time will probably be 2012!!!

Back to Boston - @ the Hatch Shell watching a free concert. Some of us were more preoccupied with the night's meal.

We took a weekend and went down to the cape near Hyannis. We stumbled upon this amazing ice cream shoppe that had spectacular peach ice cream.

@ the beach.

Mr. Jack showing his little personality.

Here we are at a farm/orchard where you could pick your own apples and peaches. Thought we might drop Jack off with the rest of his pumpkin cousins.

Millions of peaches...

We had a church event at Lake Cochicuate. The Clam Bake was awesome - Jack favored the watermelon.

The nightly routine.

My manager at Fidelity let us have his tix for a Red Sox game - it was so amazing!

In Boston, you get to mingle with the greats - Mr. Romney, David Ortiz, and the legends of our forefathers. But we considered ourselves lucky that we were able to celebrate a very special birthday with a very special person - Mr. Curious George.

Beard much?

Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

How do you take naps?

That's it for now. Next post will have us well into Fall. Look forward to the changing colors and the cooler weather. See you then!
