Cheers!

Well, it was our 14th wedding anniversary on the 11th, as was my Mom's birthday! So to my surprise John planned a mini adventure for the three of us; to take a day trip to Atlantic City!! Not that many pictures I'm afraid But tons of FUN :D  My mom has lived in Jersey for just about her whole life and have never ventured to the casinos before, so to put it mildly she had a blast!

After several hours playing the penny & nickle slots...my mom had a bit of luck with some of the table games...then we were off to dinner. We ate at Ruth's Chris Steak House. & oh my was it delicious. It was one of those dinners that started with 5 pm reservations & we stayed at the restaurant till about 7:30... cake & coffee & champagne, the whole 9 yards! It was all in all one fabulous day...

Pumpkin Picking!

What a day it was! Hot as can be...definitely the hottest pumpking picking we've ever done! We've made it a tradition, always trying to get together with my 2 sisters...my baby sister I'd say started the tradition & this was her first pumpkin picking whith her own son this year, so what a special time it was :)



What fun....spent  with all of our favorite people :)



Then there was a hayride!



Lots of fun & laughter

Silly boy




& silly girl

 

My favorite nephew of course :)


a horse & even a farmer



oh yah & a chicken






All in all a day where I wouldn't have changed a thing, what more could you ask for a day with family, truly a blessed day....even though at the end we were all pretty much covered in hay :)

Car Museum & OCC

The kiddies were off from school this past Thursday & Friday, so darling husband took the opportunity & took some time off work to do a few day trips. First on Thursday we hit up this really cool car museum in PA called "America on Wheels." The kids simply love museums & to top it off Jason's got this recent passion for cars, old & new so he really enjoyed himself. Of course Maddie loves all family outings so she was as happy as can be regardless the destinations. Me of course I was happy, got a chance to pick up the camera dust it off & give a go at some really cool subjects.








Wait that's not a car, no it's Maddie checking out Jay as he was in a very cool car simulator.



Oh and lookie it's all of us! I took the opportunity as it seemed we were the only people in the entire museum...there was this room full of old soap box cars & yay, a table to set the camera down on for a quickie snapshot!







Here at OCC there were just a few choppers by the windows that made for some good shots! I really loved this blue one!

My Boys

Just a snap shot of a moment from our long weekend...We visiting "America on Wheels" in Allentown Pa...what a great trip it was! I'll try to find time to blog about this week!  We also made a trip into NY to visit the Orange County Choppers place. We've been there a few times in past years, with darling husband & Jason being avid motorcycle fans, we've made this a tradition come fall time :) The drive is just so nice, gorgeous weather, gorgeous scenery!
