Fall Fun

Even though I haven't been feeling too great lately, Jim talked me into getting out of the house this weekend and doing something fun. We took Lena to a local greenhouse that was offering a bunch of free fall activities for families. Here are a few pics.

When we walked by this scarecrow, Lena pointed to it and said, "Jesus!" Everytime we walk by the crucifix in our house, we point to it and say "Jesus". I guess this guy does kind of look like a crucifix!

Fun with cut-out faces.

They had a barn full of animals to look at. Lena is checking out the chickens. She is holding a donut because they were giving away free homemade donuts. Mmmm!

Getting up close and personal with the goats. She sure isn't shy!

More fun with cut-out faces.

They were doing horse-drawn wagon rides around the property.

I'm glad we got to sit up front because Lena loved watching the horseys.

Back at home. While we were there we picked out some fall decorations for our front porch. These pumpkins represent our family. Daddy Pumpkin, Mommy Pumpkin, Lena Pumpkin, and June Bug Pumpkin. Jim has been calling our little baby-to-be "June Bug" since he or she is due to be born in June.

Lena kept calling the pumpkins "apples" and tried to eat June Bug's.

Indian corn for our door.

Nothing says fall like dried-out corn stalks!

I am really glad Jim talked me into getting out of the house. It was a nice day to be out and I am glad we were able to enjoy it.

Next weekend we are planning on taking a day trip up north a little bit to see some of the fall colors.
