Oversons Visit Nashville!

 We were so lucky to have the Grandma, Grandpa and Isaac here in October for almost a whole week! We had so much fun hanging out and mostly just watching Zara do her thing, eating tons of yummy food, seeing a few sights here in Nashville, and watching many episodes of House Hunters International. Kasey and Collin even made it out for the weekend and we played a crazy game of wits and wagers :)

  

 

We had dinner at the Loveless Cafe and ate our weight in biscuits and jam. The boys took the motorcycle for a spin. Do you put that much butter in your biscuits....?

A little fall car ride through Edwin Warner Park to see the leaves. 

We went and saw a Norman Rockwell at our local art museum and it was pretty great. We liked the art and Zara enjoyed eating the pamphlet about the art.

We spent an afternoon in a little town south of our house called Franklin and had fun just browsing through the stores and grabbing lunch. 

Lunch at Merridee's for soup and sandwiches topped off with a smorgasbord of pies and desserty things.

Kasey and Collin! We went downtown to Jacks to get some BBQ and got caught in a crazy rainstorm. Every. single. time. my mom has been downtown it has down poured on us. Every time. 

This sidewalk act on Broadway was pretty interesting, they had a lot going on. 

We had to stop and get a treat at Starbucks at least one time. 

Showing Grandpa all her toys.

 We took a tour of the Belle Meade Mansion and walked the grounds. Dad worked his sleepy magic on Zara, a fall time miracle! 

Mom saying "Don't take Zara away from me!"

Hanging out on the front porch, check out those shutters!

We walked around and saw the slave quarters and read about a few of the workers they kept at the house. Zara had so much fun with her Uncle Isaac.

On Halloween night the kiddos dressed up :) and we we and got some really really yummy pizza! Then we drove down a street that was all decked out for Halloween, it was a windy but warm night. 

The pumpkins were amazing and there were tons of them. We decided that we think the neighborhood must have a pumpkin carving contest because some of them had ribbons. 

We really enjoyed seeing everyone and making memories. :) see ya'll again soon!

Random October Happenings

Zara, eagerly awaiting for someone to answer her Face Time call.

 October was a fun month for the Walkenhorsts. Lots of nice weather, walks, face timing family, Halloween and an Overson visit!

We finally went for a walk around a little lake here in the middle of Nashville called Radner Lake. It was a beautiful day, we got there sort of late so we had to hustle to make it around the lake before the sunset. Zara had fun watching the leaves from her stroller (we couldn't decided if strollers were allowed on the trail or not but we went for it anyways).

Zara had a random "photoshoot" in the middle of the day when we were just a little bored. She is at such a fun age. She was jabbering away the entire time!

Zara and her little friend Millie hanging out.

 You can't really tell but in the picture below Zara is watching it snow for the first time. 

 

 

Zara's first Halloween! She was a little owl and as a family we were Harry Potter, Hermione and Hedwig the owl.
