Trip to Charlotte - Day Three

Aidan and Marin look over the slim pickin's

Sunday was my third and final full day in Charlotte.  There were no grandchildren to watch in soccer or football.  We decided to take a trip to a pumpkin patch to have fun and get some pumpkins.  Some years ago we had gone to a nice place in South Carolina that had plenty of pumpkins and fun things to do for and with the kids.  This time we tried a place much closer to home but found it pretty disappointing.  However we did find some fun games that were new to the Xbox generation.  The video below shows Aidan and Liam Jacob trying their hand at tetherball, a staple of schoolyards in their father's day.


You can see more photos on the Pumpkin Patch album on Picasa.

We gave up the search for pumpkins--Liam later found those bargains at Aldi's--and pulled into the local SmashBurgers for lunch on Grandaddy.  After watching the KC Chiefs embarrass themselves and the entire Midwest with a woeful performance at Arrowhead Stadium, I got some photos of the kids.  Marcie wanted me to get some so she would have some recent ones for her office.  Liam has a new home office and needs some wall decorations as well.  Of course, I was happy to do it so I would have some nice shots for the wall at 47 Charissa Run.  Great looking bunch!

Take a look at the individual photos in the Picasa album.

Up early in the morning for the trip back into the storm.
