What I Did On My Fall Vacation . . .Part II

There were a lot of things that we did on our vacation that I didn't want to put in order in our blog so this is just going to be a hodgepodge of pictures and captions.


One of the things that we did in NH was go to the apple orchard and pick our own apples. There was also a little pumpkin patch and playground.

Jacob's first time on a swing

Picking Apples

We ended up traveling to New Hampshire on my birthday so we celebrated the day after. Happy 27th to me!

Tia is NOT eating Jacob's nose. They are giving each other a kiss.

In the pumpkin patch at the apple orchard. Cutie Patooties!!

When Jacob gets tired while shopping he will take your hand, put it beside his face to use as a pillow and will fall asleep. This is in the parking lot after about 10 min of sleeping. Melissa and I had to take turns holding his head while we checked out.

In NH there is a children's meuseum and Jacob went down the slide by himself. In the first picture it doesn't look like he's having much fun but the second picture tells how he really felt.


I took this picture after a bath. Does anyone see a resemblance to the look Robert Pattinson always gives??

THREE TEETH! There are a few more that are SOOO close to popping out but they're not quite there yet. Maybe when Daddy gets home . . .

What I Did On My Fall Vacation . . .Part I

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.............

While Blake has been having . . . (ahem) . . . fun . . . in Georgia, Jacob and I decided to do a little traveling. We first went to California and visited Grandma and Grandpa Termeer and Grandma and Grandpa Dunn. We ended up taking the train to and from Bakersfield. Jacob LOVED the train. Well . . . I guess I should say I loved the train. I didn't have to be stuck in a little airplane seat with a monkey on my lap. Jacob was able to crawl around and walk holding onto seats because there were only 5 or so people in our entire car.

When we were in Bakersfield, we went to the Kern County Fair and saw some chickens hatch.

After California, Jacob, my parents and I went to New Hampshire to visit Melissa and her family. That's where the worst of times kicks in.

Things were pretty good until the Monday after we got there. The origional plan was that we were all going to go to New York to visit my uncle and then, almost at the last minute (ok, so maybe it was before we even bought our tickets), my parents decided to DITCH us and go by themselves!!!

On the Brooklyn Bridge

On Wednesday, we got into a car accident. Everyone was ok. At least all the people. Melissa's car has a missing eye and no nose.

Poor little car!

On Thursday, I woke up at night throwing up and didn't stop until the next night. I got dehydrated so Zion took me to the hospital and apparently, I had some sort of gastroinestinal bug.

I love drugs!!

Which transferred to (or maybe it had been from) everyone else. Tia and Jacob had nasty diapers (no details), and Aiden threw up as well.

On Friday, it was Melissa's turn to be sick. But it was morning sickness and not a bug.

Luckily, my parents came back from their trip Friday night and were able to help everyone out.

Saturday was pretty fun. We went to the Pumpkin Festival and had a blast. Until we started to freeze. We brought enough clothes for the babies but not for the adults. There were over 29,000 pumpkins.

Aiden and Tia - ready to have fun!

Jacob eating bites off Grandma T's hamburger! Big boy!

Today, Sunday it started to snow! The first snow of the season. I wasn't able to get any good pictures.
