pumpkin patch.
a few weekends back.
before the glorious rain.
my mom, dad, sisters.
it was indeed as hot as the surface of the sun.
not favorite.
hot and dirty at the pumpkin patch.
i can handle getting hot.
i can handle getting dirty.
I CANNOT HANDLE BEING HOT AND DIRTY ALL AT ONCE.
mckenna and i win first prize for being the biggest whiners.
luckily, everyone ignored us and we had fun anyway.
in the maze, before getting really hot. still smiling.

waiting for the wagon ride.


my adorable mom. wearing thrifted sunglasses. she might have owned this exact pair about 20 years ago.

sister two: karissa

kids with pumpkins and sister one: alisha

look at those red hot cheeks


love that they picked some white pumpkins this year

the pumpkins are now piled on our front porch and distributed to friends at school.
and we are no longer hot.

i did that shot with each family that came to the park that day.


mom and dad were so cute

last night right before i fell asleep i realized i never shared THIS shoot-from THIS banner family! i wish i would have before i switched to a new one – sorry teresa! i just went out of order and then forgot who i’d posted and who i hadn’t!

we met up at cal poly pomona, which i loved. i had never been but its a great campus with a lot of fun things to use. if you have a college campus near you i’d suggest you try it-especially near the art department-we found the best stuff behind the art building! but the reason i was so happy to meet them here was that it meant something to them-dad had graduated from here and knew the campus like a tour guide-it was awesome!


great form!

found this behind the art department

and these cool lockers


i love the two of these




im starting to feel alive again-and so far, no flu for me-anna and jeff are still down for the count. this is day 6 for jeff and day 4 for anna………
