getting ready for halloween...

This weekend we went to the pumpkin festival in half moon bay. we were watching our friends kids for the weekend and thought it would be fun to take the kids to the festival. i don't think i have ever been to a more over-rated festival. we made it just in time for the parade and got to see a fire truck, a few policemen, a few kids dressed up, will clark (from the giants) and a 1500 lb pumpkin. (the pumpkin even went through twice) other than that there was nothing for kids to do and a bunch of people selling their junk...oh, i mean their art!?













After leaving the pumpkin festival, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch. they had tons of fun jumping around and sliding in the big blow ups. max had no fear on the slide and would jump right off the top and bounce down it laughing so hard. on our way out we picked pumpkins and went home to carve them. they were so tired that they all fell asleep on the way home.













they all worked so hard on their pumpkins...























max had such a fun time with tate and solomon and about ten minutes after they left i found him like this...

  2. Awe, it's Tater Tot and Solomon! I miss those boys. Tell Kelly that I showed Madison the pictures of Solomon and she blushed... She is STILL in love!

  3. We went to Half Moon Bay too, but skipped the Pumpkin Festival (honestly we didn't know it was this weekend until we were stuck in traffic). We went to a couple farms (petted animals, rode a train, etc) and then went into HMB for dinner and stopped by the tide pools.

    Thanks again, they had such a good time! More fun than they would have had with us this weekend! That picture is so cute with Max passed out under the table. --Kelly

  5. haha sorry maybe we talked it up a little too much!! kate's never been old enough to do anything at the pumpkin festival so we usually just eat a bunch of stuff and look at the huge pumpkin and stuff. i'm glad you liked the pumpkin patch though!
