Keene Pumpkin Festival

This past Saturday we went to the Keene Pumpkin Festival and met up with our good friends the Tobey's and Robert's sister, her husband, and their twins. This was the second year we attended this event. Last year Matthew was almost 3 months old, so this year we were excited to take him and thought he would probably enjoy looking at all the pumpkins. It was pretty crowded, and there weren't as many pumpkins this year, but we had fun seeing our friends & family. It was nice to get out and enjoy this fall weather as we will soon be enjoying (or in my case, not enjoying) the cold winter weather.

The Tobey's had to attend some other events on Saturday, so we went to lunch with Lisa, Knute, Annalise & Keith. After lunch they came back to our house to play. Matthew, Anna & Keith were so cute together! I loved seeing my niece & nephew (& lisa & Knute too!). We hope to do this again soon!

Here are some pictures from Saturday...




Matthew showing his cousins one of his favorite tricks-- climbing up the side of the stairs! Do they make baby gates for this?!!


Cousins Annalise & Matthew. Anna loves wearing her Daddy's hat-- Matthew not so much!


Cousins Keith & Matthew. Keith loves the camera!


A pumpkin carved to look like a mouse. What a cute & easy idea!


Matthew & Ally loved looking at the pumpkins! Wouldn't Ally make a great big sister!

Matthew is adorable. I love the sneaky picture of him climbing up the stairs. We really need to get together with out families.

The stairs scare me!!! That is the only thing I don't miss about our old house. One level is the way to go! It looks like Matthew has those stairs mastered to a fine sport though!

The festival looks fun! I love the mouse pumpkin.
