| Pumpkin loot |
Patrick and I have had a wonderful weekend exploring more of what Beaufort has to offer. We started out on Saturday heading out to a pumpkin patch. The literacy specialist for my first graders owns a farm and invited us out. In our four years overseas I missed the fall season so much, so I was really looking forward to picking some pumpkins. We got a hay ride out to the patch, and found four fabulous pumpkins to bring home.

I'd been wanting to check out the town of Port Royal for awhile now, so on Saturday we did that too. We happened to go there on the day of the Pirates of Port Royal festival. Nothing like seeing a bunch of locals dressed up as pirates in the middle of October. There were numerous booths set up with art work for sale, and they even had a small menagerie of animals where you could hold birds, hedgehogs, hamsters, and even pet a couple of baby goats. One parrot was hanging out on a park bench nearby and let me hold him. When I set him down he started bobbing his head back and forth like he was dancing. Quite amusing. We walked along the boardwalk and up a lookout where we could see across the water to Parris Island. It was a beautiful day, and I got some great pictures.

I'm always thankful when we have a whole Saturday to spend together. Usually Patrick has to work until the afternoon, but this past weekend he was home by 9:30. It's not often that we actually get out to explore Beaufort, so this weekend was a lot of fun!
