FALL in MARYLAND

Such a beautiful time of the year to visit the east coast.  So much to see and do and I was so excited to be there to share in all the Halloween fun!!  It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back.  I love it back there and I love visiting my family. 

 

Getting ready for Halloween.  Owen and Grammy made a mummy and Jordan and Owen carved a cute little pumpkin that Owen picked out at the Summerland Pumpkin Farm.  Owen loved the cookies Aunt Megan sent him too!

Owen was a skeleton and Ames was a cute little pumpkin.  Grammy borrowed Aunt Megan's skeleton shirt so her and Owen could be matching.





We had a great time at Harper's Ferry in West Virginia.  What a beautiful historic town.  I love learning about all the Civil War history and this is where John Brown and his men seized the armory.  The fall colors were incredible and the town was so quaint and full of history.  The B&O Railroad runs right through the town and Owen loved watching the trains go by.  It was a great day even though it was a little chilly!

Jordan took a little detour on the way to Baltimore so I could see the Washington DC temple for the first time.  What a beautiful sight~ It is huge and so gorgeous.  We toured the visitors center and walked around a little.  Next time I want to tour the grounds.  This temple has the most acreage of any temple in the world.

It was fun to have lunch with Erin.  She took us to One Eyed Mikes and we had a fabulous lunch.  I had the most delicious crab cake sandwich.  I will never look at crab the same again!  Nothing compares to Maryland crab.  We took Owen to the toy store where Auntie Erin spoiled him and then we went to little Italy where we got some chocolate cannolis.  I wish I had taken more pictures while we were in Baltimore.

Ames Blessing Day at the Scholar Way building in Folsom.  Such a special day with family on both sides.

Lake Bowl in Folsom.  The boys loved it!

Coleman is a big fan of suckers!

Not the best picture (some scary eyes going on) but it was a dinner together with some of Iain's family and our family at one of our favorite restaurants, Pizzaria Classico on Sutter Street in Folsom
 


Owen and Grammy took a ride on the Folsom Valley railway!
