Turkey Trot 2009

The Ferrari cousins... all the boys

The Turkey Trot is a family tradition that we do every year. The boys love running in the Dieselhorse Dash. This year Ty was so excited because he was in the top 5 (even though he thinks he won... but he's a big winner in our eyes especially since we had to be there at 7:45am!). It was cold but the boys didn't mind. Afterwards we celebrated a big Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma Ferrari's house with everyone. We are so thankful for a wonderful family! We are so thankful for the many blessings in our lives.

So we are excited to say that we WON 1st place in the family golf tournament. It was a little challenging but we pulled it off. The rules were pretty simple but hard for us. The game was best ball, which was good for us but the offsprings had to tee off so parents were not allowed to tee off... which meant Ty had to tee off at every hole. Ty was the youngest but we have to say that he's pretty good for a 4 year old. He also made some great putts for us! Needless to say, we are the golfing family ;)

Harvest Festival

This year for the Harvest Festival, Ty was so excited to dress up Snakes Eyes from GI Joe (even though he has not seen the movie and probably won't be allowed to see it until he's 25) and Zachary was a dragon. They had so much fun. They played tons of games and Zachy even won the cake walk and brought us home so great treats! While Ty hung out with his cousins in the big boy game section, Zachy got to jump in the bounce house all night long.

Zipline time

The boys had a great time at Hawes Farm this year. It was Zachary 1st time really being able to play and pick pumpkins. Even the cousins got to join the boys and were they excited! They jumped on the floor trampoline, did the zipline, slid down the BIG slide, rode the horse carriage, and even were captain of their team for the pig races.

Ferrari Ravioli Weekend

Papa and Ty cutting the Raviolis

It's a tradition in the Ferrari Family to get together and make raviolis. This year Ty was old enough to try it on his own. Though he played with the cousin more than he made raviolis, he did get to experience making raviolis from beginning to the end. His favorite food is Italian (mainly sausage) but raviolis is at the top of his list. Making homemade raviolis is a 2 day process. The first day is making the dough and waiting overnight for it to rolled out the next day and stuffed with filling. It was a very long ravioli making weekend but well worth it!
