Salem with my Mom... Aka Grammy

 My mom came and visited us! I was so happy! I had missed her so much!
We picked her up from Syracuse and made the 5 hour drive to Salem, Massachusetts.

We were told the "Grandma is too plain of a name" so she is now GRAMMY.

Ever since we decided to come to Cornell, I wanted to go to Salem for Halloween. 
It was very cool. The town is decked out for 2 months.
 People were always dressed up and handing out candy.


Eating at the Tavern

His "Thanksgiving" Sandwich

Amelia's 5 Hour Energy

Witch's Village


A store that sells ONLY wands.

McGonogal Wand and the Elder Wand



I got my cards read by mom's witch, Beverly. 
(My mom has business trips in Salem often and gets her cards read.)
She said:
I am the Miranda Lambert of the relationship and Anthony is Blake Shelton
(I wear the pants. hehe.)
I will have at least one more girl and a boy. Whoa...
Amelia and I have been boys more often than girls in past lives.
I used to be an Aztec boy.
I have a lot of grandmothers in heaven watching over me.
Amelia's element is wind. (even though she almost suffocates in the wind.. whatever.)
Anthony has a lot of weight on his shoulders.

The game Clue was based on this house. 
The rooms are very similar.

Had to visit Rita's Italian Ice

My elf baby

Antnony at a bar.

First time in a high chair.

Oldest cemetery in Salem.







Just say it out loude: "Bunghole Liquors"



This whole store was like this. and the owner could point you to the book you were looking for.
And he got mad I took this picture. I don't know why.

Fall Break

Cornell has a longer fall break than BYU. Meaning they actually have one. Our friends from good Ol' Canada came to visit us. Brittany and Kyle. They only live about 5 hours away from us... sadly, they are moving to Nevada on Saturday. Maybe they secretly need to be an entire country's distance away from us.

While they were here, we just hungout. It was was Conference weekend, which is always nice to have a weekend where it is acceptable to just sit, eat junkfood, play games, and RELAX.

Before the Regimball's arrived, we went to a cidar press here in Ithaca. You can watch them press apples and then taste the cider. Unfortunately, the Health Inspector was there and they were delayed. So we bought a $10 apple pie, took it home and ate 2 slices.. Whatevo.

My computer won't let me turn my pics... you have to deal.

The giant apple press

We missed the apple donuts.. there is always next year

Peeling and slicing apples


We went to Lucifer Falls with Brit and Kyle. 



Making homemade Cafe Rio





Ithaca has an Apple Fest every year at the Commons. 
Apple EVERYTHING. 
We were really hoping to get an Apple Donut, but they were sold out!






Apple, Caramel, Nuts, Whip Cream. SOOO GOOD!
