Fall Color Drive

This weekend was our County's annual Fall Color Drive. If you are an adult, you enjoy driving around the county, seeing the fall colors on the trees and visiting vendor stands full of food, crafts and anything else you can imagine. If you are a child, you enjoy getting food that mom and dad normally don't let you have and watching ALL the people. We had a great time today. The kids were GREAT - not too much whining - which always helps. The weather was PERFECT and we had a lot of fun together as a family. And I even got a few things to "decorate" the kitchen. So all in all - a very good day.

The kids are all bundled up and ready to go! We met many parents along the way that were "envious" of the wagon. It was definitely the way to go!

We went to a local store that had a small "pumpkin patch" where the kids could wander and find pumpkins. Creed wanted to pick them ALL up - no matter how heavy and big they were.

Kadynce is a girl in so many ways. She is so indecisive and fickle. Even when it comes to picking out a pumpkin.

Creed forgot all about the pumpkins when he found the fountain with the fish in it. He didn't care that it was 50 degrees outside. All he wanted was to reach in and grab a fish! Good thing those fish knew to stay towards the bottom, where it was warm and out of a 2 year olds reach!!

This is the BUMPY pumpkin. Kady and Creed were both VERY interested in this pumpkin.

Creed found one he could carry! Unfortunately it was VERY green. But he didn't care. He is 2 - a pumpkin is a pumpkin. He can't name his colors yet anyway - so the shape is all that matters!

They finally choose a pumpkin. Kady got a HUGE pumpkin - look at the size of the stem! and Creed got one that was just right for him. Now - perfecting the "family" picture is another story. Posing and getting everyone to smile and look at the camera at the same time is something we still need to work on. Obviously.

I LOVE this picture. When we were going back to the van - Creed decided to check out this "statue". He looked right up and it and said - "Jesus. Jesus crying mommy." I am not sure how he KNEW it was Jesus - but he knew. Amazing.

Kady even got to enjoy a pony ride. She hopped right on and off she went! She is going to be my "country" girl.
