It's Fall Y'all!

Time for our annual fall extravaganza with Poppi! Our day began with a trip to a nearby pumpkin patch. Zachary LOVES to ride in the little green wagon while Poppi pulls it carefully down the hill. First stop is the nearest patch of LARGE pumpkins! Zachary has the best time walking among the pumpkins carefully choosing his favorite pumpkins. Of course Poppi spoiled him and Zachary walked away with 2 LARGE pumpkins (perfect for carving) and 3 smaller pumpkins for decorating the yard with.

OMG, Yes, Zachary is running through the small baby pumpkins as if it's a pumpkin landmine. A bit dangerous and had I not been looking through the camera lense I woulda' understood the danger and yelled for him to STOP. But, atleast I got a great picture right before he fell ontop of a small grouping. No damage to boy or pumpkin, PTL.

Here we are trying to coax Zachary to stand for our family picture. He was ready to move onto the next event... the county fair!!

I LOVE to take pictures like this, catching a sweet moment between Grandfather & Grandson walking into the fair. Our first stop, the petting zoo!! There was the cutest little bitty piglet & a potbellied goat that Dianne and I thought was pregnant but come to find out it was a male! LOL, funny memory!

 Since our Disney trip back in April, Zachary enjoys riding elephant rides that look similar to Dumbo. I had told him (at Disney) that Dumbo was my favorite ride. And, since then we have been to 3 fairs and each one has had a Dumbo style ride! I think it is sweet that he remembers Mommy's favorite ride!

 Each trip to the Fair always includes a hot Funnel Cake for Poppi, his favorite fair food. Anyone ever heard of "Fried Kool Aid"? This was our first taste of the oh so yummy treat! One of Dianne's friends told her to be on the look out for "Fried Kool Aid" & after a little searching we found some!! And, OMG, my taste buds are still dancing from the flavor! A must try if you ever have the chance.

 On the left is the fried kool aid, on the right is a basket full of fried oreos! Yum Yum!

Every year we look forward to our fall-fun day with Poppi & Dianne. And, every year we create more and more happy memories! Thank you Poppi & Dianne for a great time!

Happy Fall Y'all!
