Pumpkin Patch

Saturday was a beautiful day! Emily got up at 7:00am. After breakfast, she began to shuffle things around the house: transferring the DVD case from the living room to the office; moving my shoes from hallway to her bedroom; ... David called when I tried to put the 18 months pumpkin outfit on her. Unfortunately it was too small. I couldn't get her both arms in. She cried. So I had to call David back after putting Emily on her playing mat.

I can't believe David already had lots of things done. As soon as he got off the plane at 2:30pm and checked in the hotel, Jaime and he went to the English Corner to recruit readers. He found out most people were interested in reading during the weekend since they were young professionals. They may have to recruit some College students to read during the week. After Leslie and Johnny arrived, they did some logistic things, set up the internet, had dinner and a prayer meeting. David was exhausted since he didn't sleep much on the plane. Hopefully he will catch up at night!

Hanging up the phone, Emily and I headed out to the pumpkin patch. Since she is still too little and we didn't want to go far, we dropped by the one off Custer and Legacy. Emily had a wonderful time there. She tried to pick up every pumpkin that she deemed suitable, touching this one and pushing that one. She even had fun playing with the straws underneath the pumpkins. Finally she picked a small pumpkin and I picked a big one to take home. Her eyes were still on those pumpkins through the car window when we drove off the pumpkin land. I already know next year she will have more fun doing this. Below are a few pictures we took.
