We had a blast with Grandma E! We walked all around the city, drove around town (rather jerked start and stop for miles on end cause of the awful construction and crumbling bridges), visited Notre-Dame Basilica, Mont Royal, Cirque headquarters, shopped, ate Grandma's home cooking, tried new restaurants and watched the Cardinals take on the World Series. Max especially loved Grandma's fabulous bath time massages. He would smile, coo, stick his tongue out and click when she rubbed his hands and feet.

Over the Halloween weekend we visited Quinn Farms about 45 minutes outside Montreal. We saw pigs, chickens, cows, goats and horses. None of which Max gave a hoot about yet because they didn't flash fancy bright colors or rub his feet, but still amusing to see his countless facial expressions. We also went on a hayride to their apple orchard and pumpkin patch. We made a delicious homemade apple pie with the local Cortland, Spartan and Empire apples. Not as good as Minnesota's famous Honeycrisp in my opinion, but still tasty. Then we carved pumpkins at Velvet, Mike and Myla's house with friends. It was a fun farewell week to Fall!
Don't think the stinky part helped with Max's interest level either.

Max found a good one and directed Daddy to get more.

Thanks again to Grandma Eck for making the special trip. Now we look forward to Grandma and Grandpa Freeland coming this week. Max is a happy, spoiled little boy and he always welcomes more pampering visitors!
