Another fabulous fall weekend

This past weekend started with our annual trip to Ganyard Hill Farms to pick pumpkins.  Unfortunately it was a little warm and it took a little longer than expected to get there so we ended up not staying for long.  After a quick hayride, we picked our pumpkins fresh off the vines and headed home.
I don't think she liked this bale of hay or else.... 
she didn't want to share the picture with me.
another Saturday another hayride

"Nope, this one is no good.  See that bad spot, mom?"

after lots of rejects, she found one she liked
"Back away folks! This pumpkin is mine!!"
trying to get a comparison for last years pic but S didn't cooperate
Oscar had Monday off from work due to Columbus Day so what did that mean----daycation!!!  We planned a last minute overnight trip to The Greenbrier in West Virginia.  This was our first time going and we all fell in love with the place.  It's the Sea Island of the mountains.  They have everything---horseback riding, golf, spa, shooting, croquet, kids camps, pools, playgrounds, hiking, zip lines, and the list goes on and on.  Now that we know what a great place it is, we're definitely going back for longer.  

After our 4 hour drive, we spent the afternoon just walking around the grounds, playing on the playground, playing croquet, enjoying afternoon tea, and watching the horses come in from a ride.  Then we had a yummy Italian dinner and spent the rest of the evening going in the shops and having lots of fun in their amazing toy store.  
"Can we keep him?"

On Monday morning after a short trail run for me and a room service breakfast, we drove to Cass, WV to ride the scenic railroad.  This was such a cool experience!  We rode an actual steam engine train further up into the mountains.  The foliage was absolutely beautiful!
here comes our train
all aboard
such amazing views

What a wonderful weekend! Not sure how we'll be able to top this fabulous fall weekend.
