Pumpkin Patch Adventure 2009

We tried out a new farm this year closer to our house. It was fantastic! It was a great little farm with tons of things to do. Aayla enjoyed wagons rides, picking out pumpkins, barrel rides, going down the slide, jumping on the giant tractor tires, riding a little play tractor and a very first real live pony ride (which, by the way, was her favorite part of the day!).

We found the perfect pumpkins!!

A first for all of us... barrel rides! A little tractor pulled us through a very bumpy field!

Playing around on the farm...

Aayla's first pony ride. She wasn't smiling, but she was super excited after the ride was over!

Happy kids.

Ballerina Girl

Aayla LOVES her new dance class. It's ballet and tap for 3-4 year olds. She picked out her own dance wear and insisted on wearing it the rest of the day! She has also now decided to be a butterfly princess for Halloween (instead of Dora!!). Our little girl is growing up!

Saturday was the first class where the parents were asked to wait outside the room. We couldn't help but peak in the window and watch our little ones following along with the teacher. It is so strange (and fun!! and a little sad...) to watch our little girl growing up!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Much love from your ladies...

Perfect Fall Picnic

Aayla and I met up with Don during his lunch break today for a little food and fun. His work is right next to a wonderful park and picnic area. We couldn't have asked for a nicer fall day. Lucky us!!

We look forward to many more fall days at the park this year.

Early Treat!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Jensen for the early Halloween treat and toys! Aayla loves the doctor bag!
