Lazy Fall Saturday/のんびりな秋の土曜日

Fall decided to finally arrive in Southern California this weekend, which means temperatures were in the mid-70s instead of the mid-90s, so we took advantage by spending a relaxing morning putting up our Halloween decorations.
カリフォルニアのクライン家の所にやっと、秋の気候がやってきました。とっても快適な土曜日を使ってハロウィーン用の飾り付けをしたりとのんびりした土曜日を過ごす事に...

After that we kept with the theme and visited a local pumpkin patch. We didn't stay long, nor did we get any pumpkins as they didn't even have the prices posted for their regular sized pumpkins so we knew we could do better at Trader Joes...but we did use them for a couple of photos, so that was nice :)
飾り付けの後午後向かったのは季節限定のカボチャ畑。いろんな大きさのカボチャがあったんだけど、金額が書いてなかったので結局トレーダージョーズで買う事にして、写真だけちゃっかり撮らせてもらいました:)

  
 Continuing the fall theme, after Madison's nap we went for a jog through the park and picked up pine cones for a possible game option for when we host the little kids from church Halloween party in a couple weeks...
マディソンのお昼寝の後、近くの公園までジョギングしながら松ぼっくりを拾いに行きました。今年は私達がマディソンの教会からのお友達を招待してハロウィーンパーティーを計画しているので、その時のゲーム用に使う計画...
When we got back from our run we came home and decided it was time to give one of the watermelons in Madison's Square Garden a try. So after Madison posed with it, we cut the chord!
家に着いた後とうとう待ちに待ったこの時が... マディソンの野菜園で一番最初のすいかを収穫です!ドキドキしながら茎を切って!
 And our 14.2 pound little bundle of joy was headed into the kitchen...
見事な6.5キロのすいかは台所へ直行...


Our baby cut open on the table...she wasn't as red as she even looks in this picture, but she was very sweet...I am quite spoiled by seedless watermelons however, but she was worth the effort :-)
真っ二つに切ると、中は写真よりももっとピンク...でもビックリするぐらい甘くておいしかったよ〜。種が面倒だったけど:)

Bonus Pics and Video: ボーナス写真とビデオ:

Madison demonstrating her new dance moves she learned during her Monday dance class...
毎週月曜日は学校で特別に習っているダンス、そこで習った”パセ、パセ”を私達にお披露目してくれました...


And finally...what we did last Saturday...visit Disneyland...for Halloween time they have a little carnival area with crafts, games and music and Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy wander around and come right up to you, which sure beats standing in a long line!
そして最後に先週ディズニーランドで撮った写真...ハロウィーンの期間だけ特別にある広場で特別衣装を着ているミッキー達に会える事が出来ました:)

P.S. Daddy helped color the mask...but Madison chose the color scheme :-)
P.S.パパが色塗りを手伝ったけど、色を決めたのはマディソンだよ:)
