Last weekend (October 6th), we went to Milford for the Pumpkin Festival. It’s a similar event to York’s Harvestfest, but a little bigger, and with a trebuchet to launch pumpkins into the pond with. They had some of the largest pumpkins I’ve ever seen (since the first Pumpkin Fest I went to 4 years ago). I’m guessing this one right here was at least 1,500 lbs.
There was also a huge pile of little pumpkins for kids to pick from, or in Hailey’s case, to sit down amongst and let Daddy take pictures. She didn’t get one of these wussy pumpkins, Papa grew a great big one in his garden for her. (I wonder if she’d fit inside it?)
This weekend, on Saturday morning, we went to my co-worker Kevin and his wife Shannon’s apartment in West Roxbury. Kevin has a 3 year old daughter, Lupe (Loo-pay), and a 1 year old son, Jack. Hailey loves going to play with them, and they love having Hailey come over to play. Here’s Jack and Hailey in the stroller at the park near their apartment.
Hailey loves the swings, she laughs and makes all kinds of noise when you put her in one. Now Jack’s almost twice Hailey’s size, but the swings themselves are decent sized. So we thought, “Could we fit both of them in 1 swing without squishing them?”
Why yes we can!…, and Lupe insisted that she would push them. (press play to watch).

Here’s Hailey doing a little dance to the 1st track of the new Dropkick Murphys CD.
We took Hailey to the Red Sox rally yesterday after I got home from work. It started at 4, we got there a little before 6, right before the Dropkick Murphys went on. Hailey went crazy when they started playing “Shipping Up To Boston.” (the one from ‘The Departed’).
