Country Bum(Pumpkins)

the caston family went to Terrabonne for a big October 'Festival' they put on there. There was big corn maze, beautiful scenery, beautiful girls(Gena) sitting on buckets/eating carmel apples, pumpkin launching cannons, and yummy food. we had a blast.

Time to Play in the Snow...

So, the weather has been really cold and there were a lot of clouds last night. Ian and I smelled snow so we hopped in the truck and went on a 'mission' to find snow.

Samuel was left behind as this was a trip for the big boys. We found snow about 20 minutes from home. What a blast. Ian loved it.
