Pumpkin Patch

-





We headed to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday morning. Two years ago we went to the one in Elgin and last year we went to Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls. This year we were hoping to find a patch a little closer to San Marcos and a bit less crowded. We found just what we were looking for in the Ford Family Farm.
We got there right as it opened and there were only two other cars there. They had a hay maze and an obstacle course that the kids loved. They had a choo choo train of wheelbarrows pulled by a driving lawn mower. They had a hay ride pulled by a large tractor. They had pumpkins for buying and painting and a little photo opp area and gourd bowling and stuff your own scarecrow. It was small, but perfect for your 2-5 year old.
Our friends Elizabeth and Zach joined us with their boys Graham and Dean and later my friend Alicia joined us with her three children, Josephine, Josiah and Annabella. We had a great time and the boys had a blast too. The two hours we were there flew by. Really fun.
We got some decent pictures, though none that I love and we got some great pumpkins with which to decorate and carve and pillage for seeds. I love fall and Halloween. yay!

Winter Park Weekends

  For two weekends in a row, we have rented our favorite condo from our friends and spent the weekends in Winter Park. It is SO fun! Davis has a trestle downhill pass and we meet our friends the Rileys and the Perrys (our mountain bike family) and the kids ride all day, I hike around in the mountains and we have communal dinner either at the rigs or at the condo. The first weekend we met everyone up there after the Heritage back to school dance which turned out to be a germ factory. I drove up Aidan and Sam after school on Friday. We unpacked and then had a lovely dinner at Lime before coming back to the condo where the boys watched John Wick and I took a long bath. Michael, Davis and Garrett came up late after the dance and we all fell asleep. That Saturday was lovely, but quite cold. Sam and G tried downhilling with the others and really enjoyed it. Michael and I got an activity pass and did the alpine slide a lot of times. We read in our adirondack chairs by the lift and ate lunch a

 In between Winter Park weekends, Michael celebrated his 50th birthday and Rosie celebrated her 1st. Michael chose to have a quiet birthday after the big polo celebration and stay in. I decorated a little, we ordered in Thai food, watched the new marvel show, What if?, and had delicious ice cream from Heaven. Rosie had a cookie and lots of pets.

Friday Photos: Saturday Photos: Sunday Photos:  This year we got two tables at DA2030's charity polo weekend. We invited all our favorite people to help Michael celebrate his 50th birthday. Mom and Paul and Tiffany and Keith and Cheris and Rob and Steven and his girlfriend Amber all flew in just for the weekend!  Our local friends joined in too and we had a party! Mom and Paul got us a limo as Michael's birthday present for Friday's fancy night at Wings over the Rockies.  Cheris and I got our hair and nails done. Christin and Suzy went to get their makeup done. I had four dress options for Friday night and due to a lot of factors, ended up wearing a completely different one at the last minute. I was stressed as it really wasn't dressy enough, but I looked okay in it and it was comfortable so that was all good. The weather was warm, but not too smoky from all the fires so that was okay. Michael has quit drinking and was worried about how much fun polo would be without bo
