Pumpkin Totem Pole 2008

The finished product - this year with the new addition of a straw bale base!
And here shown in it's best "light"!

One last pumpkin patch trip...

Ava starts the morning off by running back and forth across the kitchen to show off Aunt Chelly's handiwork. (The beautiful green sweater that Ava is sporting.)
She takes a ride on the tractor seat see-saw to get her pumpkin patch trip started right...
then tries to fill a pumpkin wheelbarrow "by herself!"
Ava actually posing for the camera - smile and all!
On our way back to the car, cider donuts in hand... ;)

Trip to Carter Hill Orchards in NH

The family takes a wagon ride before heading out to pick apples...

Julia poses for the camera with her "haul".
Meg shows off her selection from the tree.
Ava enjoys a big swig of yummy cider...
and then gets a little push around the track from Cousin Julia.

Republic & Federation Meeting

Ava is playing the role of moderator in this scene from Star Wars... lol.
