Nana takes us all to the Lemo's Farm for Halloween  fun at Half Moon Bay

Leave it to my kids to take a plunge down the slide!

Roman makes a couple of friends :)

Happy girls just waiting for a ride on the pony's

Lola loves the pony rides...can you tell?

Eden does too. She rarely gets to ride because she

 is too big...we fibbed a little on her weight...hey, she's only 8!

Look, it's the girls with mom at the corn fields

Lola picks corn at Ardenwood

We had thee best time ever in October! There is always so much to do. It is always so much fun because we do tradtional things and we always look forward to it and the girls remember every moment of it. We started our October with a Harvest festival at Ardenwood. We harvest corn, then take some home to dry and make popcorn throughout the year. We also pick colorful Indian corn that we use to decorate with at Thanksgiving time and this year the girls decided to pick the kernels off and make crafts with them...very crafty!
Roman was having a good time, too. He slept most of the time, but when he woke he really enjoyed watching whatever the girls did and he enjoyed looking at the animals on the farm. I can't believe how alert this little guy really is. No mushy baby here. He's got to take it all in.

Nana treated us all to a fun time at Half Moon bay the second weekend in October. We had a blast! The drive there wasn't so bad (well, there was a bit of motion sickness, but no lost tummy contents...whew!) and we stayed all day enjoying all the farm had to offer...pony rides, big slides that my girls jumped down instead of slid, pumpkin pie (our favorite!), bouncies, and pumpkins. It was so fun! Looking forward to it again next year. The girls wanted to go to a Pumpkin Patch down the road from the farm and they had fun getting on rides and more gigantic slides. We ended the day with a lovely dinner at Maverick's in Half Moon Bay. We enjoyed great food, conversation,  and laughter...what a fantastic way to end the day!
