Fall in Maryland is wonderful. We especially like to take a trip out to Butler's Orchard for pumpkin picking and the pumpkin festival. This year, we managed to get a crew to come with us. Andrew, Claire, Luke, Allen, Elaine, Owen, Nora, Pete and Lydia were part of the group this year. Most everyone spent some time watching pumpkins fly through the air through a pumpkin launcher. The launcher flung pumpkins about 100 yards across a field and hurled them into an old beat up VW bus. After the noise got to some of us, we went through the corn maze, played in the corn box (like a sand box), slid down slides on potato sacks, ate lunch, and took a hayride to pick pumpkins.
The kids had so much fun running around on a beautiful fall day.
Brad's having the most fun on the hayride.
Good pickin'
As an extra special treat this week, we had a visit from Laura and Kim. Laura got into Georgetown University and made a trip out here to interview for a scholarship and check out the campus. We had them over for dinner one night than met them out in Chinatown another night. It was a quick visit but we're are SO excited that there will be many more in the future. Since Laura got her scholarship (YAY!) and she'll be moving here in January.
Chinatown fun.
