Pumpkin Carving

Painting Her Pumpkin

I was so amazed to see the girlie paint her pumpkin.  It seems that her interest in arts and crafts has really taken off recently.  She was so excited to paint her pumpkin and picked out what colors she wanted to use.  It was such a fun morning!

Pumpkin Patch Trip #2

I was able to organize a trip to Patterson Farm with other families from the Down syndrome Association of Charlotte.  It was a gorgeous day, and everybody had a blast!  We were even blessed to have a company sponsor all the kids so that the parents didn't have to be burdened w/ that cost.  I was amazed by the love that people have for our kids, whom they've never even met!

On our way to the pumpkin patch

Yes, she wanted to sit on the pumpkin while getting her picture taken.

One of the best parts of the day:  meeting these new families.  We had three families join us that we had never met before.  Emma had so much fun, and Mommy and Daddy did too!

Pumpkin Patch Trip #1

Emma's class took a field trip to Riverbend Farm to visit the pumpkin patch.  The kids had such a fun time, and the adults did too.

It was such a beautiful day!  We were very impressed w/ the farm and how well the kids did that day.  Hopefully we can take a trip back next year!!
