Pumpkins and Friends

Today we trekked out toward Napa, to visit some really good friends, Cathy and David and their kids Melanie, Emily and Nicholas. We had yummy BBQ chicken sandwiches for lunch, and caught up. The kids had a great time playing together. I met Cathy when our oldest kids were 12 weeks old, in a Mommy and Me class. There are two other moms that we met as well. We all became fast friends, forming a playgroup that met once a week. All of our oldest kids are 11 years old, and now there are siblings. All four families have stayed in touch over the years, even though two of the families have since moved out of California. What an adventure watching all of the kids grow up. Although we are all far apart, we still maintain the friendships. I cherish the friendships, and all that we have been through together. I love you guys! Oh, so after we ate, we all went to a really nice pumpkin patch, overlooking vineyards in Napa! It was so pretty, and it was so very hot outside.
This pumpkin patch had quite a variety of pumpkins!
Riley, taking a breather. I love this picture of him.
Kevin, among the pumpkins. I love this picture too!
Two boys and a very large 850 lb. pumpkin.

Emily, Riley, Melanie, Quinn and Nicholas. Back row is all about smiling, while the front row is all about silliness.

Word of the Day: Sonic. We finally made it to a Sonic! It was ok. The Sonic Blast has nothing on the Dairy Queen Blizzard. Glad we went though.
