As promised, here are the photos from pumpkin picking in Princeton, NJ with Isabella, Gabriela and Lisa and Patrick and Evelyn. We had intended to go apple and pumpkin picking but coordinating the logistics of 5 kids and 4 adults proved to be a little more complicated than we thought. Everything certainly took a lot longer....The farm (Terhune Farm) was so neat...tucked in the middle of Princeton, NJ, and with pumpkin picking, raspberry picking, folk music, a petting farm, and lots of other food and festivities. We spent the bulk of our time (when I wasn't breastfeeding) "picking" pumpkins and raspberries. The raspberries were a little disappointing and the kids quickly lost interest. It was definitely like finding a needle in a haystack to find a ripe raspberry amongst very well picked over raspberry bushes. Nathan enjoyed running up and down the aisles finding his friends, Gabriela, Isabella, and Evelyn. Evelyn and Patrick win the prize for picking the most. After at least an hour, Scott and Nathan and I had maybe 15 raspberries in our bucket. By this time the farm had gotten crowded and all of the kids had low blood sugar so we headed to town to have a Mexican lunch and create some havoc at a local restaurant. It was a beautiful day, however, and another fun adventure. It definitely feels and looks like fall.
