Picking out the perfect pumpkin
Because Hadley wasn’t really going to be in to Trick or Treating this year (or her costume for that matter) we took her down to Eugene to spend a hockey free weekend with her godparents, Uncle Scooter and Auntie Jenn. Hadley loves her godparents, and when I say loves, I mean LOOOOOOOVES them. She will call for them, sit in their laps without being prompted, hug and kiss them and follow them around like a little puppy dog. They are so good to her, and good to us, because John and I usually end up getting a little break from toddler wrangling duty.
The weather actually turned out to be beautiful despite the muddy looking pictures. It was overcast, but the rain held off until the afternoon, and then the sun returned and it stayed dry for all the trick or treaters. We met Brian, Kara and Sam (Sam is only a couple weeks younger than Hadley) at the pumpkin patch for some goat petting, fish watching, produce shopping, hay riding, pumpkin picking and general fall fun.
Scott and Jenn live in a gorgeous but very hilly neighborhood, so they didn’t get too many trick or treaters, but Hadley still enjoyed seeing the few that came by. For traditions sake, Scott and John picked out a couple of pumpkins and carved them up as well so their house could tell all that passed, that we were participating and handing out candy.
The pumpkins looked amazing, the day was beautiful and the sweetest part of all is we got to see the Oregon Ducks
Scott and John's pumpkins--notice the hockey puck sticking out of Scott's (top), how appropriate!
football team kick some USC butt on the big screen from the comfort of Scott and Jennifer’s family room. My writing will not do the pictures justice, so I will just post the pictures. I think we got some great ones of our day at the farm! Enjoy!
