Pumpkin picking.

We started this chilly day off with Violet's soccer game. Several of her team members were absent so they asked Zoe to step in and help with defense. She had fun and made sure she took it easy on the little kids. The coach also gave her an official team shirt to keep.


After warming up with Starbucks we headed over to the orchard in search of the "Perfect Pumpkin" and play in the hay maze. The girls each picked out a pumpkin and we helped Gavin pick out a baby size one. It turned out that Zoe had the largest and then Violet the second largest etc... Marina still does not get the pumpkin concept. At first she thought that they came out of the sky and then she was thinking that we needed to put candy in them. (haha) I think she will really enjoy this Halloween once she understands how it all works.















We stopped at a local nursery on the way home in my search of the perfect snuffalufagus (sp) tree. No luck this time the only one they had was already sold but the kids had fun with the hay man and the lawn ornaments.
