After the gym, we hustled off to ballet class, worked up an appetite, then headed to this adorable bakery called "Twin Sisters" in Alamo Heights with Miss Wendy, Nessa and MacKay. We (belatedly) celebrated Nessa's birthday (I promise I'm working on getting organized).
"Sharing" Nessa's birthday present
A little sisterly love...
After lunch, the girls and I took a drive out to the Love Creek Orchard to visit their pumpkin patch - had to see what "fall" is like, Texas style (HOT). While Emma was disappointed that we couldn't pick apples (the very limited season here is in July, and this year wasn't a good one), we had a wonderful time. Of course, by the time we left, I was covered in green paint (thanks, Soph), Sophie had eaten about a gallon of paint and Emma's pumpkin was beautifully painted.
So many pumpkins to chose from
Gumpa..don't look! YUM, cotton candy (Soph's first - she LOVED it)
the maze
Nothing will keep me from my pumpkin - not even this basket!
Working together
Giddy-Up!
After our day at the pumpkin patch, we drove back through Bandera (Cowboy Capital of the World, for those of you who are not familiar!), checked out a lot of horses, cows, goats and other interesting mammals; drove past Medina Lake (Bubba, I still can't figure out how to get down to the lake) and ended up at home, sweet, home...
Of course, no day is complete without a little walk. We stopped to give Miss Mary some love, then made the rounds. The girls really have started to love the neighborhood (and the neighbors). We got caught in the neighbors sprinker, so we all got rinsed off a bit before our baths.
One side note - Soph is learning all sorts of new words (other than "no" and "thank you") - today's highlights - apple sauce, hot, and outside.
I've got to get back to packing...WE LOVE YOU DADDY!
