Yesterday we participated in Franklin County's first Pumpkin Festival. We had a really fun time! We dropped off our pumpkin (that Tom and Gloria carved - did a good job I might add!) and then took a walk around to see the pumpkins. We also bumped into some friends and danced to some live music. My one complaint is that there weren't nearly the number of pumpkins that should have been there. There were 100's of people there but hardly anyone brought pumpkins! It was kind of sad. Maybe people will be better about it next year. I hope! We loved that it was so close to home and it was great to see the community come together for such a fun event!

After our time at the festival, we headed to our friend Charlotte's going away party. We got there just in time for the hayride! Gloria loved it! :) Charlotte, Chris and their son Patrick are moving to Maine. We are so sad that they are leaving but we are excited for them and their new opportunities! We will miss them and hopefully they'll come back for visits! :)
The weekend before we left for Aruba was the Jail Break 5K in Greenfield. This year Gloria was running the kids race and Tom was going to run the 5K. Both did a great job! I think Gloria had a fun time running with all the kids. After all, running is one of her favorite activities. :) Bravo Barney and the rest of the crew who put together this race! I believe it had the best turn out yet! It helped that it was a beautiful day! :)

We also got to check out Yankee Candle's Fall Festival before our vacation. It was such a gorgeous fall day that day! We got to go on a hayride, hula hoop, visit Santa Claus and enjoy the music.

More fall fun will be had this year! Halloween is just around the corner!
Looks like you guys are enjoying this beautiful fall!! Can't wait to see Aruba pics. Call me so we can get together!!! :)
