Pumpkin Farm

No Comments


This morning, we went to Joan’s Pumpkin Patch and Farm.


We also met up with Sophie, Avia, Sabrina, and Cecily.


There was so much to do at this farm!


Janie did a little panning for gems, which looked more like colorful aquarium rocks.


Peanut could not wait to ride the train.


There was a petting and feeding area with lots of hungry goats.


We also stopped for lunch at Fiery Shanghai and the Tsaos joined us before heading home. The girls sat together and tried spicy noodles too.


They also had a Snowflake that had rolled ice cream.

Janie attended Auntie Mai’s baby shower today and brought the baby one of her favorite books, “Slippery Fish”.

Her gal pals were all there including Sophie, Avia, Vivian, and Sachi.

The girls did a triple huggy hug before Sophie went home.

The grown-ups played some games and Mommy won a prize.  It was a pretty bracelet that Janie loved to hide and take out of the bag.

Auntie Mai also gave her some of the tulle that came on her presents.  Janie loved wearing them as a sash.  So fancy.

Janie loved seeing Auntie Teresa.  She did, however, miss Baby Henry who was at a different party that day.

Janie met Trinity, our department therapy dog.

They just hung out on the floor together while Trinity enjoyed her treat.

Before heading home, we went outside to decorate blocks for Auntie Mai’s baby.  Janie made one by herself and then helped Auntie Teresa pick out more stickers.

Here are the blocks we made.

As we walked to our cars, Janie and Sachi held hands on the sidewalk.  So sweet.

What a fun party!!  On our way home, she said “I had fun!” and then fell asleep.

Janie went to Alameda with Mommy today and had a really fun time.

First stop was brunch at East Ocean for dim sum.  She had plenty of jook that morning and Auntie Mai just kept it coming!

IMG_1957

She remembered Auntie Mai from Friday night and they had a fun time together.

Silly Auntie!

Here’s Janie and Vivian together in the stroller.  I love how Vivian is now wearing Janie’s old outfits.

Next stop was Modern Mouse where she met up with her pal Zoe!  They gave each other High Footsie Fives today.

She also tried to give Vivian one too but they were too far from each other.

The South Shore Shopping Center was a perfect place to run free and explore.

Please excuse the extra soggy diaper.  Mommy had forgotten to pack a diaper that day.  Luckily Vivian wears the same size and they hooked us up with one.  Thanks Vivian and Auntie Stephanie!!

IMG_1974

We met up at the frog fountain and found Mr. Ducky sleeping on the water.

Zoe came by to play and shared her basketball with Janie.

IMG_1978

Janie also gave Auntie Eleen a big hug when it was time to say goodbye.

IMG_1980

Auntie Mai plucked a couple flower and put them in Janie’s pigtails.  So pretty!

After a little ice cream with Auntie Mai and Auntie Stephanie, we went grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s and Janie passed out right away.  What a fun-filled day!!
