Fall Fun

We have all been enjoy the crisp Fall weather and taking advantage of the local Fall festivals, apple orchards and pumpkin farms. At the beginning of the month we went to the Hidden Lake Gardens Fall Foliage Festival. Carys enjoyed a hayride, corn maze and various crafts using all natural elements. She thought all the different scarecrows were really interesting.

Friends of the family have a Llama farm. My mom has taken Carys there numerous times. I thought I should take a turn. She loved being with the animals and seemed to be a natural in the barn and in her interactions with the animals.

The Lashes had a baby Llama that was only one week old. Carys kept asking to pet it, but the baby and the mama Llama wouldn't come close to anyone.At Flavor Fruit Farms they had pony rides for the kids. Carys was so excited to see that when we arrived, asking right away, "I ride the ponies, pleeeeease". I think the guy leading the pony scared her a little, but one daddy walked beside her she was fine.

She had fun searching for the perfect pumpkin. Carys kept getting caught in the dried vines. It was a big laugh for Tim and I. We ended up leaving with a small green pumpkin. Ms. Wraiya slept though all the festivities!!
