Pumpkins!

With Grandma and Grandpa Gregg in town for a few days and some gorgeous fall weather, we decided to take Jonah to Barthel Fruit Farm in Mequon to pick some pumpkins from their patch.  Although it was somewhat late in the season, we still found some great pumpkins in the patch and came back with 14 for the reasonable price of $25.  Grandma Gregg bought some apples (we bought some last month), I nursed under a beautiful tree, and Grandma and Grandpa played with the orchard's two dogs.  Jonah probably didn't really know what was going on, but seemed to have a great time taking it all in.


In the afternoon, we all ventured to the West Allis Farmer's Market, where we found beautiful mums, a nice deal on mix-and-match squash, and tons of end-of-season produce.  I broke down and bought several heirloom apple varieties: Russett, Snow (Fameuse), and a Banana variety. Tried two of them today: yummy!  (Particularly the Russett.)  Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures of Jonah riding in the Baby Bjorn and chilling with his Dad.

Here are some pictures from our lovely day:
