Fall fun in Long Island

This weekend we went to Long Island to spend the day picking pumpkins & carving them with Nannie, Grandpa, Uncle Kevin & Aunt Bridget. We went back to the same farm we do each year and had so much fun! We played on the playground, fed the animals, rode the ponies, went on a hayride, and picked our carving pumpkins! It was a busy day, but we had a blast!

Emily’s FAVORITE part of the day was riding her very first horse! She was in heaven!

Picking pumpkins was so much fun… but mostly because we got to pull a wagon out in the field! Abby could pull quite a load!

When we got back to Nannie & Grandpa’s house, Abby helped scoop out all the pumpkin seeds (Emily thought is was too yucky), and the grown-ups carved us some pretty cool pumpkins!

Aunt Bridget & Uncle Kevin were pretty serious about following their first real carving pattern…

In the end, they turned out great! Aunt Bridget & Uncle Kevin carved “Mike Wazowski” from “Monsters Inc”, Mommy carved Emily a special “Relli” pumpkin, and Daddy made Abby a cool “Boo” pumpkin from “Monsters Inc” too!
