East Coast (part 4 - Syracuse, NY)

The final stop on our East Coast Adventure was to North Syracuse, NY to visit Jim's Grandma and Grandpa Churchill.
Unfortunately, we all had a bit of a cold by this time in our trip, so we had to take it a little easier than normal. However, that didn't stop us from getting lots of visitors!
Bridger loved playing with Great Grandpa!
Here we have the kids with Great Grandpa Churchill, Jim's cousin Lollie and fiance, Chris, and Jim's Aunt Deb (Cappozzi). Chris and Lollie were naturals with the kids and Bridger loved to have new playmates around!
BC came down from Vermont to join in the fun.
Halloween morning we went to "Mother's Cupboard" upon the reccomondation of Jim's cousin, Tess. Here is their clan - Michael, Tess, Alan, Elliot with Jim.
Mother's Cupboard was a favorite of the cousin's because of their BIG, yummy breakfasts. Here is Jim's 2 Blueberry pancakes he thought he could handle in one sitting. Turns out these pancakes can feed a family of four for 2 days straight. :) These were true "mancakes".
Kacy and Elliott are two months apart and were excited to have someone their own size to make trouble with.
We also had a special treat when John and Kristy Farar came for breakfast and play. John and Kristy are friends that we met in Lake Oswego, but have moved to Rochester, NY for work.

It was so great to see you guys! Thanks again for coming out!
We also got to briefly visit Jim's Aunt Peggy and family. Short, but Sweet!For Halloween, Bridger and Kacy were Thing 1 and Thing 2. In true Thingyness fashion, they didn't want to sit very long for pictures.

Jim sported The Cat in the Hat's hat and I just had another crazy wig on to match the kids. Next year, Jim and I will represent a little better, but at least the kids looked cute.

We went Trick or Treating with Tess and her family. We truly had a great time, and only wish we would have had a little more time with each and every last person we saw.

Thanks again everyone for a great visit and making it such a wonderful trip for us.
