Fall Weekend

We had a GREAT fall weekend. It started off with Dana's first bath on Friday afternoon. As you can see, she didn't love it! It was pretty short lived but I was happy to get her in the tub. We just had another one today and she tolerated it much better!
Saturday morning I took the girls into Trinity to watch the field hockey game. The team played a great game against Bowdoin and we were excited to see all of our Trinity friends. The first person we ran into was the Trinity Bantam! I was so hoping to get a picture of Alice with him but she was too shy to stand alone with the Bantam. Too bad... We had a great time catching up with all the Trinity folks. After a brief hello at the tailgate, we headed over to Kingswood for Reeves' soccer game. Alice was running low on rest at this point and challenged my ability to chase her onto the field hockey field while carrying a sleeping Dana in the baby bjorn! What a little rascal...Sunday morning we had fun sister time. Alice was excited to hold her baby Dana. As you can see from the second sister photo, Dana was less excited by this bonding moment!

After a leisurely morning, I took the girls out to the Pickin' Patch to find Alice a pumpkin. She was pretty excited about this and claimed that we weren't going to get just one pumpkin, we needed to find "two pumpkins." Unfortunately, this place was hit pretty hard by Irene and all their pumpkins were wiped out. So instead of walking through rows on pumpkins on the vine, the owners put down a patch of hay and laid down a bunch of imported pumpkins to try to simulate the pumpkin picking experience. It was a little sad, but still a fun activity. Alice enjoyed the hayride and we did a find a decent pumpkin for her. She found a lot of pumpkins that were "too big" or "too cold" to bring home.


Alice loved painting her pumpkin at home!
