Anyway, last Sunday we went to a pumpkin festival in Gilbert (every time I think of the city of Gilbert, I can't help but hear Leonardo DiCaprio saying "Gilbert!" from What's Eating Gilbert Grape). It was fun, although I got a little hot in my flannel shirt. The high was 72 (22 C), which in the shade feels really cool, but in the sun is still a bit too warm for what I wore. We're in that weird, confusing phase of Phoenix weather where some people are wearing jackets and others are still in shorts and t-shirts.
The Phoenix Herpetological Society was there, so we got to visit our favorite alligator, Tuesday. Alex and Cristina held a black-headed python, but Sofia and Bella declined. We decorated mini-pumpkins with stickers, went through a maze made out of hay bales, and went on a hay ride (which Sofia complained lacked enough hay to truly be considered a hay ride). Before we left, the kids picked out pumpkins to carve at home.

72 degrees is hot here. Of course, we do not use the air and we have open doors/windows during the day. It gets down in the 40's at night but we have not used any heat to date. We do have a quilt on our bed now. Being in the hot desert really requires adaptation to the hot climate. Great pumpkins. The python I can live without...creepy.
Man, in that pic near the bottom Bella looks just like Carrie from Little House. Cool. Looks like you had a fun day.
Love me some punkins!
Awesome pics! Bella looks really 'Prairie' in the tractor picture, too! It's great to see you all enjoying the seasons! Everybody looks terrific! Also, neat classroom pics and congratulations on the 100th blog! We are all the richer for it! :)
