Mario’s Half Moon Bay Adventure at Arata’s Pumpkin Farm & Baking Cookies

Fall is in the air across most of the country, which makes sense since tomorrow marks the first day of autumn—my favorite season! Even San Francisco felt like fall this past weekend, making it the perfect time for a drive to Half Moon Bay and a Saturday spent at Arata’s Pumpkin Farm. Mario loves pumpkins and bugs, and the farm was full of both! He and his Dada had so much fun lifting pumpkins to search for spiders and bugs hiding underneath.

On Sunday, Mario and I baked chocolate chip cookies for his pre-school teachers. I used Jacques Torres' Secret Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe, and the cookies turned out beyond delicious. Yes, the big day has finally arrived—Mario starts pre-school tomorrow!

While I’ll miss my days with Mario, I’m excited for this new chapter in our lives. I know he’ll make new friends and have a blast every day exploring fun activities and learning new things. Now, I just hope I don’t cry tomorrow!
