The World of Mackay

Mackay is definitely fascinated with Halloween. She loves the pumpkins, but even more, she loves the witches. These are the witches... Mackay calls them "hhthhhhh", which generally coincides with a large volume of drool escaping her mouth. But she loves for us to hold her up to the fireplace mantle and show them to her.

For those of you familiar with Half Moon Bay, you know that October is the busiest month of the year. Some 350,000 people come to the 'Pumpkin Capital of the World' to eat, drink, ride ponies, enjoy the Pumpkin Festival, and of course, select those strangely compelling orange gourds. Mackay was in her element among the crowds at Arata Farms, and she discovered her very own Pumpkin Throne. And with our friends Jen, Lawrence and Sophie, we're proud to say we managed to complete the hay maze. Mostly by accident. And don't ask us how long we were in there.

Mackay is going to be a bee for Halloween this year - though I'm going to have to drug her to get her to wear her antennae.
