We went to Evan's Orchard again this year (pumpkin patch). It's our third year in a row going and this year we went with Dylan (Erik and Daniele), Owen (Megan and Chris), and Kate (Jen and Jeremy). We couldn't believe how much they have expanded their facility. What a money maker- good for them. This year we did everything...played in play land, took a wagon ride, went to the petting zoo, Grace rode a pony (named Chestnut) and of course, bought a pumpkin. What a busy and wonderful day with friends! Grace has such a super time getting together with her friends...we don't do it often enough.
Today, Grace and I made pine cone birdfeeders to hang out back in our trees. We made 10 so we may share some with friends as well (grin). We got some pine cones from Mimi and Poppy's house earlier this year and are just now getting around to making the bird feeders. I think they are best in the fall and winter so we'll see how the birds like them. I put the peanut butter all over the pine cones and Grace rolled them in bird seed. Now we just have to wait for them to harden up a bit (and stop raining) and we'll go hang them.
I have so many pictures that I did my best narrowing them down...but there are still a lot- enjoy!
