We had a pretty busy fall this year thanks to Lil Chubs. She is always keeping us busy. One of my favorite things to do is take her around the yard and teach her the names of all the plants and trees. I started doing this in the summer and now she is pretty good at it. She knows mango, lychee, "pa-paya" (she separates the word), star fruit, jack fruit, lemon, banana, sugar cane, bamboo, flowers, berries, and her funniest one is gumbo limbo (formerly bubmo limbo in Adri talk). Yeah, I've taught my little girl well. She knows what more of the trees and plants are in the yard than most adults would walking around the place.
Now she is getting big enough that she doesn't just know the names of the plants, but she is learning how to water them. Natalie bought her a little water can and Adri was helping me water all the plants one morning. This was the same morning we went to Flamingo Road Nursery for the pumpkin patch.
Here she is watering my new Edward mango tree.
Watering on of my flowers by the canal.
Watering my new Black Gold Jackfruit Tree. Natalie got me this tree for my birthday.
After a hot morning in the yard we took chubs to the pumpkin patch for some pictures. We also did some shopping for fruits and vegetables for the garden while we were there. Adri is still too young for all the candy so she doesn't get to trick or treat yet. So our favorite part of Halloween right now is definitely the pumpkin patch.
Look at that grin. Wonder where she gets it from?
Why does my dad call her bugs?
Adri is in her throwing stage. We told her to stop throwing the pumpkin.
Adri is also in her sniffing stage. She has to give everything the smell check.
After Halloween the next big thing in the family was Natalie's birthday. We went to a park in Miami called Greynold's with the family and it wasn't the best idea. It was a wet fall so there were mosquitoes everywhere and hungry raccoons. I was able to keep the raccoons at bay until sunset and then everyone decided it was time to bail out and go to Natalie's aunt's house.
Adri making the Aubrey face. Reminds me of my niece.
Our next big event was our three year anniversay. Not going to put this on this blog because it's already on a seperate one. You can read about it here Key Largo.
And that is it for fall. Next update will be on Christmas.
