Crosby Carving Contest

Another fun weekend with the Crosby Clan.

1. Alan & I spent the morning wandering through Downtown Modesto's 
Farmer's Market with a great pastry & coffee. All I could think as I walked through was "loving this small town feel, the smell after it rains, being with alan, then pause...what is that horrible sound & who will make it stop? oh just the honky band that never quite took it on the road. How did they get in there? I am going to bring my flute next week and play mmm BOP & My heart will go on..feel free to support me. Getting back to the greatness of the morning...i loved all the pumpkins, veggies, almonds, the old man that scares little kids at the fruit stand with his fake rat, & talking to his mom's cousin Dale making the best home made kettle corn. All i needed to top off that morning was a horse ride through the orchards with my man, a flannel, & my cowboy boots. My heart just might be growing for Modesto. 

2. The Kegeris's came to visit.
so fun to give them a taste of Alan's hometown ...
The rain destroyed our thoughts of a corn maze... 
SO we went with what was comfortable...
Mexican food,  GIGANTES (woohoo world series!), Coffee Shop! 
very thankful for great friends & how God is using them to challenge us to be better people individually and as a couple!

3. Watched "How to Train a Dragon" - GREAT 
& had many fun memories with Alan's sister, Ashley.

4. Finished the weekend with Reta's famous 
Taco Soup & a pumpkin carving contest.
