Afterwards, we went up the mountains to take some cute fall photos. Unfortunately, Mark wasn't aware we were going anywhere afterwards, and I didn't realize how far it was. Consequently, we were extremely low on gas. To make matters worse, there was no reception, so we couldn't call Jacob in the lead car to tell him to stop. As we drive farther and farther up the mountain, Mark starts getting worried. We tried pulling over, but Jacob didn't notice. Then we tried driving with our emergency blinkers on, but still no dice. Finally, we sped up right behind him and honked to get his attention. Jacob was thinking there would be gas in a small town just below our destination, but there wasn't. Someone in town directed us about 10 miles toward another town that did have a gas station. It was a bit of a detour, but we filled up the car and everything worked out.
Serene had intended for us to take pictures at an old ski resort with all the fall colors. But when we got up there, we realized we were too high and the leaves had all fallen. We went down a bit and found an abandoned Kiwanis campground to take pictures at. Afterwards, we went back to Jacob's and watched the Ohio State football game. Then, for the evening, we went to a pumpkin patch place with a corn maze, petting zoo, slide, etc. It was fun, but we went a bit late in the day and Matthew hadn't really taken a nap that day, so he was pretty cranky the whole time. The nice part was that once we got back to Jacob's, Matthew and Ayden went down for the night. We had some nice adult time. Per Pingel tradition, we played the train game and watched the new Star Trek movie. It was a great weekend. I love living within driving distance of family.
