Old Salem

This past Sunday one of my neighbors who does graphic design and photography on the side, took some fall pictures of Coen at Old Salem. Coen normally hates getting his picture taken but this time I had brought a distraction for him to play with, a football. The football entertained him and made for great pictures. Lindsay, the photographer, did a great job & took over 300 photos. Here are some of my favorite ones.

The Pumpkin Patch

he found one just his size

Blowing Rock & Tweetsie Railroad

Over the weekend we took a family trip to the mountains & stayed in Blowing Rock. The weather was beautiful and everybody had a great time together. I really enjoyed the cool crisp mountain air. Saturday we did some shopping & Sunday we went to Tweetsie Railroad. Coen had a great time at Tweetsie & he enjoyed the train ride. He never once got scared of the loud locomotive sound or the cowboy's & Indians. One of the cowboy's greeted us on the train but Coen wouldn't shake his hand. Jonathan & I are already thinking about going back by our self for a relaxing weekend & doing some Christmas shopping.
