In the months leading up to the wedding last October, we were so busy, that once the wedding was over we just crashed and did as little as possible for a while. Which, when we are two working parents and two children is still really busy. Anyway, as you can see I haven't put anything on this blog since the wedding and now, months later, I am trying to get caught up. I knew I would never get caught up if I did a post for each event, so I'm crunching them together into seasonal posts. Here is fall, 2015.
Anja's Birthday
A ninja theme, with special ninja names on their headbands and a ninja training course outside (thank goodness for nice weather!)
Fall Visit to the Farm
There are a few farms to visit in our area that host special activities in the fall and Snead's Farm is one of our favorites. They have animals, rope swings in the barn, a creek to mud around in and lots of places to explore.
Oysters!
We got invited to an event sponsored by the Friend's of the Rappahannock, an organization we support. It was in a part of Virginia we'd never been to, near the Chesapeake Bay, and we got to experience fresh oysters and some beautiful scenery.

Jason tried the raw oysters, I did not.
I stuck with the cooked ones (with cheese
and bacon, yum!) |
Thanksgiving Feast at School
Each year the elementary school invites family members of Kindergarten through 2nd graders in for a Thanksgiving feast during lunch, and we have been fortunate enough to go each year. This one was our last, as Anja will be in 3rd grade next year.

Thanksgiving Feast at Home

| The girls found the dried wishbone from last year and gave it a try. |
That wraps up the summary of our fall! I promise it won't take me as long to get up a post from the winter.
