Together Forever
We went to the Goleta Lemon Festival on Saturday. They had a ton of firetrucks, police cars and motorcycles, horses, rides, and on, and on. At first we thought we were lucky for Steven to get to touch a sheriff's horse, but then he was able to ride a pony for the first time, ever! He was totally having the time of his life! (It was very hard to get a smile, though. Apparently, riding a horse is very serious business.)
Mom Hall treated us to the fair a couple of weeks ago, and we had such a great time! We ate all kinds of great food, drank about a gallon of lemonade each, and did LOTS of walking. The kids LOVED getting to feed and pet some farm animals--Rebecca especially got into it.
For Steven, the best activity of the day was probably visiting the dinosaur exhibit. He still mentions dinosaurs every day. Grammy bought Steven an especially wonderful souvenir--tennis shoes with dinosaurs that have flashing lights for eyes!!! He is in love! Thank you, Mom, for such a wonderful day! It was really a special treat for all of us!!!
I love autumn time!!! The beautiful and vibrant colors, harvest vegetables, fun holidays--so many great things! Today we had our first real fall-feeling activity. Cheralyn invited us to go with her to Eliza's school field trip to the Falkner Farms Pumpkin Patch. They had tracker rides; a hay bail maze (so the kids could see over it--genius); a petting zoo; and ,of course, lots and lots of pumpkins. We had a great time seeing family and welcoming in this wonderful season!
