picnic, pumpkins and of course, football

The first sign of fall in the Turner household is FOOTBALL! Alex has been coaching football for 5 years now and although it is super fun for him, the time commitment is unreal. I feel like a single mom from Sept-Nov. AJ loves visiting daddy at practice and passing out water bottles to the guys. We also enjoy cheering for his team at the games.


A couple weeks ago we decided to pick up our favorite pizza (sausage with extra sauce from Pizza Port) and take it to the beach for a dinner picnic. Unfortunately, the marine layer rolled in early which made for a chilly evening. We still had a great time and look forward to our next one.










Last year we went to Bates Nut Farm on a blazing hot Saturday. I vowed never to go on a weekend nor on a ridiculously hot day again. Well...we decided to go today after church because it was the only day we could all go together before Halloween and it turned out to be abnormally warm and absolutely packed. And to top it off, AJ wasn't feeling well. At least we got some cute pictures, hung out with good friends, and left with 1 decent pumpkin. As much as I dislike visiting the pumpkin patch when everyone else in the county is there, I'm sure we will end up at Bates on crowded Saturday or Sunday next year with the kiddos...and I bet it will be warm again because it seems like October is always blazing in San Diego.
