Autumn Fest 2008

Today we went to the Bi Water Autumn Fest and got some pumpkins for the house.  We went around this time last year when Ella was only 3 or 4 weeks old.  It was much different this time and she enjoyed it much more (obviously)!  I still remember what she was wearing and how little she was when we went last year.  It's amazing how much she has changed in a year. 

As soon as we walked in, Ella spotted the ghosts and pumpkins.  She loved them!
We went to pet the baby animals.  Ella wasn't so sure about the duck that kept moving around! She liked them better from faraway.
The bunny was much more calm.  Ella actually touched it.
It took a while, but she finally warmed up to the goat to feed it. 
After petting the animals, we went into the haunted house which was more fun than haunted.  I think she liked the dancing ghost.
While taking a hayride, Ella decided to eat the hay.  Mommy wasn't looking :)
They had the cutest little tunnel for kids to go through.  The first time through I went on my hands and knees before her and then she led me through the second time around.  She loved it!  We are definitely taking daddy back to try it out!
Here is a shot of her half way through the tunnel.

Nana was on the other side of the teeter-totter :)  Ella loved this too!
We decided to take a break from the heat and eat some caramel apples.
Ella cried when they were all gone!
While we waited for the train ride, Ella talked to the other kiddos.  

Finally, it was time to shop for what we came for... PUMPKINS!  Ella had her own bag and went around putting different pumpkins in her bag.  It eventually got to heavy for her to carry!  She was a cutie!

It was so much fun today at the Autumn Fest. Nana had a good time with you and mommy. I love watching you get so excited over all of the decorations for Fall and you were precious picking out your own pumpkins! You are going to love Trick or Treating! We will have to go back and get us another one of those yummy carmel apples:)
I love you Ella,I"ll see you soon.

Ella,

It looks like you had a good time at Bi water. I remember last year to how little you were. I am sure this year was much better. We may go to Evans Orchard on Wednesday with Ava. I think you will enjoy that too. I love you sweetie and will see you later today.

P.S. Your look like you really did enjoy those apples by the looks of you face.

Looks like you had a great time at BiWaters. Aunt Kim and Katelyn took Cade and Brayden there. We didn't know you had to buy a bracelet to do the activities. So we got kicked off the hayride and left! But we did feed the animals and ran through the haunted house about 10 times!!. The baby ducks bit Aunt Kim!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!:)
