Well after having lunch with my sister and niece yesterday we headed home to rush and load up to head to birdshill park for the last race of the series. Autumn was ready to race and was pretty excited, even had her helmet on in the truck. ( maybe my driving just scares her)
She had a 3 points lead in the series so to win she needed to beat girl in second place overall, it turned into a exciting race with her getting passed at the start of the second lap, then seeing her come back into view again in first place telling us the other girl wiped out. She held on to first going into the thrid lap, but then a bonk off a tree had her getting passed and had her finishing in second place. But winning the overall for the series, which gets her a series winner t-shirt. I was really tempted to order it in my size but i think that maybe that would have been a bad parenting move. She had a great little cheering section with us and her grandma and Ken and family friend Paul. We headed for a victory ice cream after at our favourite ice cream stand skinners.
The late night drive home had everyone fast asleep in the truck, not sure if the racing wore them out more or the cheering.
The pumpkins are growing nice, some real over achievers and lots of bloom sets forming. I am really looking forward to the next month to see how everything develops.
Some are a mystery still as to what they will grow into, some a little more obvious.
So with a great weather forecast for the weekend, we are hoping for some busy days of corn sales and planning a garage sale as well this weekend. But mostly we are just enjoying the sunshine.
