fall festival fun

Ahhhhhh fall! Today we left our urbansuburban environment behind for a day in the country. Hayrides, pumpkin patch, petting zoo (which, ok, she was afraid of. I couldn't even get her to do a pony ride! How can my child not want to do a pony ride?? In the interest of full disclosure- she was also afraid of the tractor, the corn maze, and the mud. Oh city bear...)

this same weekend last year

this year!

why can't I have this big pumpkin, too? (such a scowl!)

she's not as into cell phone self-photos as we are

pensive on the hayride

2 kids

meow! (she actually loved having her face painted)

Yep, didn't want to have her photo taken by this elephant. Sigh.

Next up: how we decorate those pumpkins, and how she transforms into one for a little trick or treat action!
