Pumpkin Patch

Sunday we had our annual visit to the pumpkin patch with our friends, the Urbans. We met Lysa and Mark on the day our children were born; Natasha was born one day after Brodie. Our tradition of going to the pumpkin patch with them dates back to 1999 when we propped our infants up against hay bales and pumpkins at their first Halloween.



Brodie, Nik and Natasha had a great time lifting pumpkins, driving the wheel- barrows, running in the hay bale maze, and watching the Rotary Club flinging pumpkins 250 feet through the air to a splattery death with their Trebuchet, a type of catulpult.



After, we went back to the Urbans' newly-built home and were honored to be the first dinner guests at Casa Urbana, their beautiful Spanish style hillside house with spectacular views of the ocean and the sunset.
