Me and my 3

Well, not for long, but for the last three years we have been dwelling in beautiful Central PA, and this year for our family pictures I wanted to capture the non country feel of the mostly farm country we live in, and take it to the "City"; Harrisburg which you may not know it the capitol of PA, it's not Philly or Pitt like you might have thought. It's a small city, but laced with hidden treasures like city island!
We had our awesome friend who happens to be a fab photographer meet us at city island and snap away.
Owen was less than cooperative as expected, Liam, was more than cooperative and I think secretly looked up poses online when I wasn't looking, and Nate, well, he put up with me picking what he was to wear and didn't even complain, until the end of the shoot when we'd taken like 500 pictures and it was getting cold!

Here are the results, FABULOUS!!!

(Thanks Wendy P!)

Halloween 2010 ZOINKS!!!

This year the Poulson Halloween theme was Scooby Doo.
Liam was Scoobs and O was Shaggy (Minus the facial hair). Nate and I thought it would be genius to make him be Velma. Can't you picture his sexy legs in tube socks? But he ended up being on call that night so we decided the just let the kids do the dressing up this year.

Liam got to walk with his school in their parade that is escorted around the school block by the local FD. So fun to see him getting so big.

It was outside and dark at this point so that was all I could get of the escort.

Not so sure about the sirens...

Liam's Teachers Aid Mrs. Bell

And just a few pictures of why I love Hershey in the Fall!

Hard to choose the perfect one isn't it!

Annual Risser Marvel Farm Outing (But with Dad in tow)

Each year the spouses group that I am in plans an outing to one of the local farms to take a hayride and to pick a pumpkin. It just so happened Nate had the morning off to join us this year and help the boys find their perfect pumpkins.

My little limber jack.

My little Newsie

One of my BFF's Beth and her son Blaze.

So proud! 

Liam was on the quest to find a green pumpkin. Not bad. 

Along for the ride.

My cute friends and their cute kids. Event: Success again! I am going to miss this next year!

Days 5 & 6: And a little Downtime

Days 5 and 6
Day five was spent at a Disney themed water park. (Typhoon Lagoon) I thought no way in October, but I was wrong the weather was beautiful and plenty HOT! No pictures here, just tan little legs and worn out bodies.

Day 6 I needed a rest (and I'd like to think the others did as well?)
We spent the day at my dad's resort, playing on paddling boats, minature golfing and quad cycling around the resort. (Wait didn't I say we were going to rest...NAH!)

SO excited he got it in the hole (he finally just threw it in there!)

It turned into Miniature water golfing instead.

We also went to the pool and enjoyed the day just doing as we pleased not having to wait in line or run ourselves ragged. 

This trip was so fun and even better for Nate and I since both our families were there.

The boys loved and it and still talk about it all the time and ask when we get to go back...Hopefully sooner than later!

Day 4: Hollywood Studios

Day four we did Hollywood studios. Nate and the rest of the gang ran first thing to ride tower of terror, (a couple times in fact.) But if you can believe it, I am afraid of free falling. I would never want to bungie jump, or jump out of an airplane, that doesn't sound the least bit exciting or fun for me, so I decided to hold back from this ride. I have rode it before and once was enough.
We got a little smarter with the fast passes and ran to get get one for  the rockin roller coaster. (Now for some reason I am not scared of coasters?)

Then did playhouse Disney Live on stage. Owen thought this was awesome! We got to see Mickey and Minnie and the gang and also the Little Einsteins. It was actually cute and totally worth it, but you have to sit on the floor for it.

We didn't think about the fact that fast passes sell out and we didn't get one for the NEW Toy Story Mania ride, so we had to bite the bullet and wait in line for over an hour, but the kids LOVED it and we ended up riding it again later in the day.

Thankfully they have entertainment in the line while you wait so that makes it a little less painful. 

You wear these 3D glasses and then shoot these guns at different target while your cart spins. It was really fun, and the adults had fun seeing who was the best target shooter.

We then needed a break from all the waiting in line and saw the shows, Journey to Narnia. (Eh?), Muppet Vision 3d (Who doesn't love the Muppet's and 3D. All the better!), Voyage of the Little Mermaid. (The boys were TERRIFIED! They thought Ursula was scary. I agree.), Then onto the Indian Jones Epic Stunt show where our very own Kristin (My sis in law) was chosen to be an extra in the show. (Not sure why they didn't offer her a job immediately, or given her an Oscar???)

(Maybe because crazy lady to the left was trying to show her up?)

I think she pulled of surprised perfectly!

And the adults ran to do the tower of terror again so me and Bompa waited with the boys so they could meet the "actual" Woody and Buzz Lightyear!

To Infinity and Beyond...

LOVE THIS KID!

LOVE at first sight!

All in all a great day of playing yet again!
