The BEST day of Paige's Life!

Last week we ventured to Valley Center for the Annual Pie Auction. Each year the Armstrongs(my aunt and uncle) have a pie auction (which also includes jars of my Grandpa Jacks amazing salsa and hot carrots) to raise money for a scholarship set up in my Cousin Jasons Name. He was in an accident when he was 15 in 1995 and passed away. In his honor each year they are able to give scholarships to kids who were participating in some of the same acitivities as my cousin was. So we decided to check it out this year....

Paige and Angie making the Chocolate Candy Bar Pie.....it ended up going for $200!


Mason explored these ginormous animals with Great Grandma and Grandpa Jack.

Closer view.....it was really hard not to nibble.....

Paige had her first "soarin over california" disneyland experience a few months ago. Valley Center is full of orange trees. As we were driving in she says "they are so lucky to live in San Diego! Its just like Soarin!!" She was in HEAVEN. Picking all the oranges in the grove. She would pull and pull and when it came off the tree she would hit the ground :)

She must maintain her Rock star poses even in the middle of the farm lands :)

Mason was in heaven too. He was surrounded by his Doggies....had a wagon full of what he thought were balls and kept throwing them out....and eating the peel repeatedly and making the funniest faces :)

I think the day was a SUCCESS - Walking back up to the house Paige says "this is the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"

They ended up making almost $6000 for the Scholarship fund. Amazing!

I ENVY the person who walked home with this one.....
