Let's Listen to the Land


The California Jordan's were out of town in Santa Barbara two weekends back, and that's as good an excuse as any as to why you've had to wait so long for this update.

While there we took in the 20th annual Goleta Lemon Festival. Of course there were bounce houses...

and sheep to pet.

We kicked off our fun old fashion family Halloween by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the multi-hued majesty of the fall landscape...

and select that most important of Halloween symbols.

No, Summer's eyes weren't frozen shut, she was just tired.

Carson did his best to navigate the maize maze at the Lane Family farm, but after wandering through it for ten minutes we successfully left back through the entrance.

After careful deliberation Summer eventually found a pumpkin that was perfect for her.

Fast forward to last weekend, and we were once again at a slightly more urbanized version of the lemon festival in West Chester. Of course, the carnies were probably the same.

We were joined by Summer's pals Ben & Ellie (and mom Marlowe), as well as surprise guest Shane from preschool.

Looking ahead to next week, here's a sneak peak at the costumes. In what will come as a surprise to absolutely no one, Carson will don the duds of the man of steel.

After trading out her pajamas for some antennae, Summer will be a ladybug.
