Raindrops keep falling...

We spent a long weekend in the New York City area. On Saturday, we visited Grace's Uncle John, Aunt Deborah, and cousins Connor and Ryan in New Jersey. It was a cold and rainy day but we didn't let that stop us!Nana and Big Daddy (aka "Ba") seemed very pleased to have everyone together again.We ALL ventured into the corn maze and NONE of us made it out the exit. Connor and Ryan persisted the longest but eventually even they gave up and came out.We did better with buying mums, pumpkins, fall decorations, and apple pies!I told Grace last week when we were in the pumpkin patch that the rule is: You have to be able to carry your own pumpkin. But with Ba and Uncle John around that rule didn't work. They got her whatever she wanted!Grace had fun running around in a maze that was more her size! (Shhh...don't tell anyone...I liked this one better, too!)Connor (almost 10) and Ryan(just turned 6) were so sweet with their baby cousin.
They pushed her around on the wagon,
held her hand, shared their toys,
and helped her paint her tiny pumpkin.
I think Ryan and Grace have already developed a special bond with each other. How cute are they together?

It was a great Pumpkin Picking Time! Things I heard and remember about the weekend.
Ryan asked Grace "can I call Big Daddy Ba too?" Grace when asked what color is Ba's Hair she said "red" everytime. Grace taught Ba how to do a flamingo. She would do a flamingo and then say "Ba your turn" I loved seeing the cousins and family all together.
Great Time.

OK..I have tears in my eyes from all the wonderful pictures. How AUnt Phyl would have loved to be there. It was great to see all the Brennans together, having such a fun time. Nana and Ba must have enjoyed themselves tremendously. Thank you for sharing
