Autum Activities

Our fall was full of fun activities.  We attended the county fair and ate all sort of things that are not good for us like fries and elephant ears.  Celebrated Jack's third birthday where he got Hot Wheel cars and a carrier for them from Auntie E and Uncle K.  He loved his cars and the carrier so much that he took it to bed with him that night.  We took in a few of Sydney's soccer games and attended Andrew's Boy Scot meeting where he was awarded some medals.  Spent some quality time with the Rozema kids.  Had a hot dog roast where Kirby built one heck of a fire.  It was so big and hot that at times we had a hard time roasting our hot dogs.  We spent Halloween evening with some very cute goblins.  It was a very fun filled fall!!! 

NYC/US Open

Back the early part of September, Kirby and I took our annual trip to New York City.  Well it used to be annual but then we took a couple years off because we got married one year then the next year a friend of ours got married.  But last winter Kirby and I decided we were going to start making the trip again.  Our main reason for going is to attend the US Open Tennis Tournament.  See both Kirby and I played tennis growing up and have a love for the game.  Then when we were dating we got talking about things we would like to do before we die (like you do when you are dating, telling the other person all your hopes and dream :)) and it turned out that we both had attending the US Open on our "bucket list".  So that first year of dating off to the US Open we went and had a great time. 

Now fast forward to September 2012 (five years later).  As I said our main reason for going is to attend the US Open but while we are there we take in the sights of New York City.  This year besides seeing great tennis and great tennis players we also went to the 911 Memorial and Museum, saw the Enterprise shuttle which is now located on the USS Intreprid and did a lot of walking around.  I think one of the highlights of the trip for us was that we got to see Andy Roddick play as this was the last tournament he played in.  We had a very nice trip and enjoyed our time in "The Big Apple".  Here are some of the pictures from our trip!
