Pumpkins, Raspberries, Beaches and Lobster

Yesterday was a great day for us here in New Hampshire!! We did school first thing in the morning then we set off to a "pick your own produce" farm about eight miles away from our beach-side campground at Hampton Beach State Park. As you can see, we had a blast!! We got pumpkins, homemade cider donuts (all I can say is...YUMM-O!!!), homemade cheeses, honey crisp apples and two pints of pick your own raspberries. Having never picked our own raspberries, this was so much fun and the berries were absolutely amazing...we all decided that we need to put in a raspberry patch in our backyard when we get home!! We finished our day with an afternoon playing on the beach and a fresh seafood feast for dinner...fish, shrimp, scallops, lobster and hush puppies...we pigged out!! Today is a different story...wind, clouds, really cool temperatures and rain...not a good day for the beach. Perhaps we will take a truck ride and see the rest of the state?! Blessings to you all for all of us lions! Lioness

 

These were some BIG pumpkins!!
 

Picking raspberries :-))
 

These bushes were LOADED!!
 

So...we had a contest...who could find the biggest raspberry. John found the first one...it was a beauty!!
 

But Paigey ultimately won...her's was the biggest, fattest, plumpest, ripest berry we have ever seen!!
