Pumpkin Patch

We took advantage of a little sunshine on Sunday and went to the Pumpkin Patch at the Louisburg Cider Mill. It was a lot of fun to watch Salvador explore in his own way and to see the difference a year makes.
Sal's favorite attraction was this jungle gym - he loved playing in the "triangle" as he called it.
Sweet profile on a beautiful fall day!

Sal enjoyed running down the hill at the pumpkin patch. Faster is a word we hear a lot these days.Uggggghhh almost got it! Sal tried very hard to pick up many of the pumpkins we found.

Race for the Cure

Our family was part of Team Uniboober in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Team Uniboober is Aunt Mary's team - we love this uniboober soooo much! We walk and run in loving memory of Grandma Rosa (Herley's Mom) who lost her courageous battle with breast cancer in 2003. We miss her every day! Daddy ran his first 5K!
It was so early, Sal rode in the jogger in his jammies!

Gymnastics

This summer, Salvador and Mommy took a gymnastics class. Sal warmed up to it by the end and even Mommy learned a few lessons in patience! Daddy was on vacation for our last class and got to come see Sal at his best!

Sal found his nitch with the balance beam!

The last class was balloon day - Sal thought it was great fun!



Below is a fun video of Sal hiding during "free time" his favorite part of each class!
