Irvine Regional Park Pumpkin Patch

Irvine Regional Park is like stepping out of Orange County and into the country somewhere.  This trip to the pumpkin patch was just me and Gigi and some friends!  

This is pretty much my favorite... she said, "Moooooo."

Lake Arrowhead

On Saturday morning I told Sterling we were going to drive to mountains where the leaves on the trees change colors.  His response, "What?! That's awesome!"  So we drove up the mountain to where my grandparents used to live.  We even sang, "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain."  We went on a little, "hike," visited grandma's house, had lunch on the lake, and played at the park.  The weather was peeerfect.  Just cold enough to feel like fall, but not too cold for our Southern California sandaled feet.  

{This was my grandparent's house when I was growing up.  So many wonderful memories live here}

{Gigi has learned to say, "cold."  And she's cold a lot.}

{I don't know if you can tell here, but Gigi didn't like being in the little fort}
