In 2010 Aarti Sequeira won Season 6 of The Next Food Network Star, and she hosts Aarti Party. Lynn & Laura invited us for an Aarti Party and made a variety of her dishes with Indian flavors. There were some great dishes!
John even drew a beautiful colorful Indian symbol at their front door. It has significance in the Indian culture, but I can’t remember what Lynn told me.
This is the children’s table nicely decorated with a pretty Indian tablecloth, post cards from India & some Indian items compliments of Lynn
with a lovely dish of candy corn as their center piece
I found Emily happily sitting there at the table munching on the center piece
Lynn, Max & Emily dipping their toes in the pool
All the sudden, Max decided to get in the pool!
And, so did Cassie …

A beautiful day on the Bay! Thanks Laura & Steve!
We believe this is our 9th or 10th consecutive year of attending San Gregorio’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch with Steve, Laura, Candy Sandy & sometimes Chas … 
It ain’t much to look at, but it sure is fun getting lost in the maze every year. Steve & Wallace would beg to differ with me on the “getting lost” statement. And, not only that, Steve & Wallace actual differ on pretty much everything when it comes to the maze and who is the most capable leader, etc. Wallace beat Steve out of the maze this year and, of course, had to document it with a picture of me and the kids at the “Exit” sign!
Max borrows Sandy’s pumpkin hat and poses for a picture in the patch

We had a great morning at the crazy, hazy, corny mazey!
See ya’ll again October 2010
First a little picture of Max sleeping.
Sandy and Laura stopped by to visit with Max and give Sarah some relief.
Soon after Max came home the visitors started arriving. Here is Laura with Max resting comfortably on her in our bedroom.
