Pumpkin Carving and a Beautiful Day

Well, it has been an all fall weekend so far.  It’s been gorgeous weather, and we tried to fit in some fall fun to take advantage of the nice days.  We started by carving our family pumpkin.

Nina and Lyla were not thrilled by the smell of the pumpkin, but they stuck with the scooping out of the insides so they could collect (and count) all the pumpkin seeds.  They counted a total of 606 pumpkin seeds!

Saturday was an amazing fall day, so after Lyla’s soccer game we got ready to head out and enjoy the beautiful weather.  We started by heading out to Middleburg to hit our favorite ice cream place, Scruffy’s.  We always make a point of going there in the fall because the have the most amazing pumpkin ice cream in a cinnamon waffle cone.  It’s only there for a limited time, so it’s not to be missed!  Dogs are welcome at Scruffy’s, so Cayenne comes along and gets lots of attention from passersby and some dog treats from the people at Scruffy’s.

In the contest of who could pose nicest for the camera, I think Cayenne wins!

After enjoying Scruffy’s, we visited Cana Winery for a tasting.  Cayenne might have enjoyed the taste of the wine more than we did, but it was hard to beat the beautiful view and great atmosphere of the winery grounds.

It makes me a bit sad to think that winter is on its way before too long. I wish beautiful days like this would last a lot longer!!
