Pumpkin Patch '08

Every year we take the kids to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch. Yesterday we went to one in Delano called Fall Harvest. We were there a couple of years ago and thought it was a great place for kids. They have farm animals all over the place! Chickens, goats, pigs, a donkey, plus corn bins to play in, hay bales, a tractor to sit on, all the pumpkins you can stand to look at, and an apple orchard. The kids really had a great time. We met Chris' brother and his family there so the girls got to spend some time with their cousins. It was the nicest day!

Mira found her pumpkin!


Amelia LOVED to run away from us. We only lost her once! Here's a photo of her planning her great getaway! She has that mischievous look in her eye A LOT. She's going to be trouble, that one.


Afterward we all went to Randy and Terrie's house for hot dogs and s'mores. Thanks for dinner! It was the most mild evening we could remember . . . especially for being October 11!


Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dad! I love you, Dad!
