This weekend, we celebrated the advent of cool, crisp Fall weather in the Bay Area (yes, it CAN feel like Autumn in California!) by going pumpkin picking with our friends Tommy, Celeste, their daughter Elisa (and their other child, due in March); Kelly, Dani, their dog Trout; and Kathleen (who came along with her baby, still in utero and due in December). We went to Peterson's Farm, site of our pumpkin-picking adventure a year ago. In addition to a nice pumpkin patch, Peterson's features assorted animals (cows, ponies, chickens, ducks, a turkey, and lots of bees). A splendid time was had by all, and we came away with 3 fine pumpkins for our front steps.
Fiona enjoyed mothering Elisa, who is a year younger and thus deserves to be petted.
She affected quite an attitude during a wagon ride.
She attempted to interpret the inner life of a pumpkin.
And, finally, she selected her pumpkin.
Campbell came, too, but was a bit more reserved.
But Campbell came away with her own pumpkin (selected, this year, by her big sister).
Fiona, as she is wont to do these days, insisted on driving home.
But she gave up at last, and settled for a much-deserved nap instead.
