Lots of fun at our house this morning. The moms made playdough while the kids played. Yes, seven toddlers were in our place at one time. I am very very brave!

We had sooooo much fun at Bate's Nut Farm, in Valley Center, this morning. Nate was very chatty especially around the animals. It was so fun seeing the giant pumpkins and going on a tractor hay ride.

Nate and I had an adventure this morning picking out a pumpkin!

"Things That GO" book

Nate's new favorite book. He wants to read it several times a day :)

Yesterday we made playdough!

down the street, at the Cardiff campsite, during low tide.

a mobile bar! we saw this at the campsite.

We visited a historic ranch this morning that had peacocks and citrus groves.

the kiddos loved collecting the oranges that had fallen from the tree

babies!

poor thing, he was a little afraid of the car wash this morning.

how long 'til he figures out it requires money?!

Cardiff Greek Festival

ponies!

what's that?!!

so serious about the Gyro!

me drinking Greek coffee.

how much butter and sugar do you think they used?

This was at El Callejon last night. He was eating a lime.

What does Nate do in his room before he takes a nap?

on the swing: he stopped signing "more" for a while but he's started doing it again.

in the truck: hopefully he doesn't learn how to say "go faster" anytime soon (that might be tempting for Dave, haha). i'm trying to teach him "stop" but it doesn't carry as much appeal as "go".

it's so funny when he shakes his head "no"...
