Pumpkin Picking

This weekend we all took Friday off for a little "staycation." Friday we went to the Camden Aquarium, Saturday pumpkin picking at Linvilla Orchards and Sunday to Morris Arboretum. What a great time all around!
Here Sophie is enjoying her very first candy apple (candied, dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts - how can you not like that?). We took a hayride through the different fields at Linvilla Orchards. Later we did some veggie picking and got a whole box of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants (and will now be eating a lot of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants).

 At the Morris Arboretum they have this thing called the Squirrel Scramble - essentially a huge net high in the trees. It was pretty cool, but also a little unearving. Sophie thought it was a huge trampoline.
 Stopping to smell the roses.
I've finally figured out how to get her to smile for pictures. I just ask her to "show me your teeth." Hoepfully this trick will last long enough to get through the Holiday picture taking season.
