Park Play

I took my Grandma to Lithia to enjoy the fall colors.

My Daddy tried to get E. interested in the swings.

E. was more interested in the climbing equipment.

E. even tried to climb on the blue spider web.

E. is really flexible.

E. stayed on the ground level but I climbed to the top...

...well--very nearly the top.

I tried to show my Grandma the turtles in the uppity duck pond
but I guess they are elsewhere.

There were lots of ducks though.

I think my Grandma had fun even without the turtles.

(yes--that is my Daddy's frown in the corner of the photo)

Pumpkin Patch

We went to visit a farm in October with Grandma Lynn.

We enjoyed taking pictures of ourselves with the livestock.

I found myself sliding down a haystack.

I tried not to let the turkey know about Thanksgiving.

E. just had fun being outside.

She also found herself surrounded by flowers.

I found this machine outside of the barn--
I am not sure what it does exactly but it had enough grease to
mess up my hands.

In the barn we found animal skins to pet.

While we were in the barn--there were lots of
other people riding along in a wagon.

E. found some pumpkins.

I tried to play on the tractor--but there were too
many other kids trying at the same time.

Finally, we posed with Grandma Lynn.

We had a great time together.

Train Tracks

Daddy and I took E. to the railroad park.

We waited in line to ride the steam train.

Here we are seated.

My Mommy and I share the thumbs up sign and we were on our way.

E. did not enjoy the ride very much--
Daddy had to hold her through out the trip.

E. was glad to go.

I checked out the progress being made on the outside layout.

Watched Thomas outside.

E. took F. to see the indoor layout.

All in all who doesn't love a day with trains?

Green Show

We spent one Friday going to the green show at OSF.
On the way I stopped by to say hello to my uppity duck friends.

We were happy to see each other.

We got tacos at the the taco truck.

Something in the tacos turned E. into a pirate.


She got better.

Mostly we enjoyed the dancing and the music.

Las Colibri and the dancers
were fantastic.

Special Place

My Grandpa Ed came to take care of us for a few days.

Mommy and Daddy went somewhere special.

How special could it be without me?

I have no explanation for this.
