What's New With The Stewart's: Pumpkins, Festivals, and Walking, Oh My!

We have been busy doing fun fall activities (even if it is still in the upper 80's most days) every weekend lately. Last weekend we all walked in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer 5K. My mom's groups teamed up with 2 other mom's groups in town and I teamed up with Mike and my boys as well. It was great to raise money and support breast cancer research. The boys did pretty well in the stroller for so long. We have a double jogger where they sit next to each other and Camden already gets annoyed with Hudson creeping into his space. Camden will push Hudson's hands or legs away and Hudson just laughs. I usually just take Hudson walking with me but they will have to get used to sharing the stroller! The same day we went to our church's big fall festival, which is always completely FREE! Tons of people from around the city go every year. Camden got to play games, go on a hay ride, and see a puppet show. I guess Hudson got to do all those things too, but he was sleeping the whole time. They have free food, drinks, and lots of fun activities for the kids. There is also a big pumpkin patch at the church that we visited the weekend before the festival. Camden got to pick out a couple of small pumpkins and 2 big ones that we will hopefully get to carve this weekend. One of them is already starting to rot so I don't know how well it will go. :-/ It was Hudson's first visit to a pumpkin patch and it brought back a lot of memories of when my mom and I took Camden around the same age to pose for pictures in the pumpkin patch by her house. In some ways it feels like a really long time ago because life has changed so much but in other ways I can't believe 2 years has gone by so quickly.

Trying to pick up a huge pumpkin!

Look what I have!

It was hard to get pictures of the boys together because Camden doesn't like having his picture taken anymore and Hudson doesn't sit up.

This was right before Hudson tasted the pumpkin! Everything is in his mouth these days.

Mike and Camden waiting for Making Strides to start. If you can't see it Mike's shirt says, "I love big Tetons." He got it in Wyoming (because of the Grand Tetons). A lot of people make funny shirts for the walk.
