We went today to a fall festival at a local park that is only 15 minutes from my house and yet I didn’t know existed. Yes, Yes, I know… submit commentary here about how adventurous I am. =) Each year we try to go to a fall festival or pumpkin patch with “the cousins” (Aunt Ellen, Uncle Ron, Bekah, John-John and Josiah). It’s a fun time to make memories together. <\/p>\n

The little Fall Festival was free to the public – right in our price range – and had all kinds of family-fun activities from pony rides to a goat petting zoo (don’t pet the one that was head-butting the kids — for serious. lol.), and a pumpkin decorating area with free pumpkins, oh and also a playground and a barrel-seat train ride pulled behind a tractor (Rachael bowed out) and a large wagon hayride (we all bowed out). Wonderful few hours of fun and smiles. Poor Rachael was still recovering from her 102 degree fever the day before, so her regular energy level was not completely back during the adventure. But a good stroller ride, blanket snuggle and a snack helped her rejoin the fun without over-extending the poor kid. And Abi had her first pony ride.<\/p>\n

And thus I share pictures….\u00a0you know, because I’m a shameless Mom of two cute kids. =D<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Our Cowgirl -always wanting to ride the ponies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u00a0Rachael’s finished product. – bear with her she was starting to feel poorly. <\/div>\n
[see her poor flushed face.. =( It was nearing time for a break. ]<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0She came back to life, after a break, with full character in the leaf fight. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0hehehe. So much fun had by all.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Aunt Ellen boosting her up for a view of the cows and donkey.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0One last wind-in-her-face smile before we\u00a0loaded up and called it a\u00a0day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wonderful trip. Wonderful company. Wonderful day.<\/div>\n
