Once Upon A Dream

We went down to Staten Island to visit and celebrate Grampy's b-day. We drove straight to Willowbrook Park because they were having their annual pumpkin festival. Aunt Lena bought one huge pumpkin for the girls to paint together. Here they are posing with some of the pumpkins. Thanks for the sweat suits Grammy!

After Willowbrook we went over to Bella's house. Aunt Lena made a great dinner, and we had cake for Grampy's birthday. The girls played, and after bath, they had a story. Bella had an "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" storybook with puppet. The puppet eats all the animals that the old lady eats in the song. So Aunt Lena read the story...while Aunt Mandy held the puppet, and the girls took turns putting the animals in the old lady's mouth. It was funny. There had been face painting at Willowbrook, and Bella got a Rhino on her cheek. The girl who did the painting didn't know how to do a Rhino so she guessed. It turned out so funny that Dave got a big one on his forhead. You can probably see it in the picture.

We took a trip to Battleview Orchard in New Jersey for apple picking. We had so much fun because it was a beautiful day, and we met up with Dave's cousin Karyn and her family (Kelly, Kaitlyn, and Aiden) (so sorry if I spelled wrong). We also met up with Anita, Teresa, and Gianna. The girls were going crazy in all that wonderful fresh air. After all the fun and photos, we went back to Bella's house for some more fun.

Back at Aunt Lena's house, we waited for Daddy and Uncle Tony to get back from the Jets game. When they got back there was more eating.... cake and doing crafts. Here are a couple photos of the apple stamping, fist print pumpkins, and pumpkin painting.
