Thanksgiving

We had a busy and family filled Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving Day we went over to the Tappans (hopefully they share the millions of pics they took with me so I can post some ...), Friday, Branson and I went on our third annual hike with the Hursts

and then went to see Elmo with Nonni.

Saturday Brandon joined us again for a Thanksgiving meal with the Hursts. It is always fun to spend time with family!

Branson and Papaw reading a book!

Some flashback pics from the last couple of years...

Sea World Take 3

We were blessed to be able to take our third trip to Sea World this year. Nana AND Papa joined us and we all had a great time!

Weekend Fun...

This weekend Branson and I made a short trip down to see Nonni and Poppa. We ended up watching Poppa run his 5K (way to go!) and going to the Air Show for a bit... Branson ended up running a 1K with a lot of encouragement! He did a great job.

Branson certainly loves being with his uncles Justin. We are glad to have him home!!

And the grand finale!

Trick-or-treating wears him out every year!!

More Halloween Pics

Here are some pics of Branson trick-or-treating. We went over to Harper's house again this year and accompanied her and her cousin, Lane. Branson had a great time! He's the best at saying "Trick or Treat!"

Halloween Fun

This weekend we had a great time celebrating Halloween with Branson. Although Brandon and I have been enjoying our tradition of carving pumpkins for 9 years, Branson was not so enthused. He really didn't like getting his hands dirty...

Though he did appreciate the final products!

Brandon carved the wolf and I did the Monster.

Johnson City Zoo and Resort

If you ever find yourself aimlessly wandering down 281, be sure to stop off at the Johnson City Exotic Zoo and Resort and go on the tour. They have some really neat animals that are all very friendly and allow you to touch and feed them. Branson had a blast!!! (and so did the rest of us!)

The Petting Zoo was fun, but some of the animals had bad manners. This brown goat jumped all over Brandon trying to take the food bucket out of his hands. Similarly the llamas in the other pen literally jumped on my dad's back to get the food bucket. It was hilarious!
