Pumpkins, Pies, and Goats!

I've completely been slacking with updating.  Sorry!  But, here's some more on my wonderful California trip.  We headed off to a pumpkin patch and there were so many pumpkins to chose from.  



After the pumpkin patch, we headed up to Julian.  Julian is famous for their apples, and they have a great little apple pie shop, Moms.  We ate a slice there and took a pie home.  Its though to beat apple pie for breakfast!

My brother in law has a friend from college who owns the Julian Mining Company.  They give historic tours about the town.  At their place you can pan for gold, press apple cider, and make your own old time candle.  We had stopped by to say hey but ended up joining in a tour.  
Getting ready to go on a hay ride.

That night we carved pumpkins.  Pumpkin carving has been a tradition in our house for as long as I can remember.  It was fun to get to do it with my sister again.  

It took Casey a little while to really get into the carving spirit.  He finally came around though.
