God's Beautiful Creation in Fall

Living in the city can make it hard to see God's beautiful creation. Everywhere you look there are cars, buildings, lots of cement, you get the idea. Every now an again you need to stop and look around at all the beautiful things he created, here on this earth. This weekend, we decided to get out of the city. We went out to the mountainous area of San Diego, met up with some close family friends and go to a real pumpkin patch. It was so fun, the kids loved running around the pumpkins, checking out all the farm animals and riding in the wagon. It was such a pretty day and everyone had a great time playing with pumpkins and picking out their favorite ones.








These are our pumpkins from left to right: Chris, Ethan and Amanda. Yes Chris's pumpkin is "interesting" looking; every year he has to pick out the ugliest one and make some crazy carving out of it. I'll post the carved pumpkins at a later date.
All the kids; I was unsuccessful at getting a photo where everyone looked at the camera. Although I bet we looked pretty crazy, with about 9 adults trying to get five kids attention.










After picking pumpkins, we went to lunch where Ethan proceeded to eat ketchup. He really enjoyed that!!

It is always a pleasure to get out of the city and enjoy God's beauty.
