Snow Bird and Pumpkin Pie



This weekend was super fun! Snow Bird had a deal where you could ride the tram up to the top of the mountain for free, as long as you brought a can of food to donate to the food bank. My friend, Nathan, and I doubled the donation. We brought 4. It was cold and windy up there, and way above the tree line. For some reason I was thinking, "Won't that be fun to see all of the fall colors?" Just as a note, there are no fall colors on the top of a mountain. :) We sat in the warming hut to eat lunch and took some pictures before we headed down.
We then went home and carved a pumpkin... I think my kindergartners are going to love our jack-o-lantern. We did a pretty sweet job. I cleaned out the pumpkin, Nathan separated out the seeds (for yummy toasted pumpkin seeds!), and Nathan carved it (my carving skills are a little inadequate)... and then we ate pumpkin pie. As my family well knows, I love pumpkin pie. I also love milk. And then, on top of that, Nathan loves pumpkin pie, and he loves milk too. So, we ate the whole thing, all but one piece, with big glasses of milk all in one sitting right out of the pie tin. Why bother with plates when you're going to eat the whole thing anyway? It was great!
