Weekend Fun! October 29-31

Yeah, I'm skipping a week, but I'll get back to it....

Friday 10/29

We decided to go apple-picking after work.

The farm we went to had a new puppy, who kept chasing Amelia and nipping at her:


She thought it was hilarious!


Heading out into the grove:



Unfortunately, we were about 2 weeks too late. They warned us on our way in that there wasn't much left, but we decided to walk around anyway.

Chris climbing a tree to shake down a lone apple:


Amelia happily sampled her prize:


And never let go of it:




We went into the little shop and selected some pre-picked apples from the barrels, so it wasn't a total loss!

Chris had the puppy all riled up, and it was running around the place. Amelia thought that was pretty funny!!


On our way out -- still working on that apple!


Later that night, Gramma Dona arrived for a visit!

Saturday 10/30

In the morning, we finally followed through on a promise to take Amelia swimming!



Jumping in -- as fearless as always!



Playing around:


Catching a ride on the cool swirly whirlpool:


Done swimming -- dry and relaxed:


With Gramma!


Drinking some (diluted) hot apple cider:


Such a pretty little kitty-girl!


Later, after a nap, we took Amelia to a "trunk-or-treat" put on by a local church:



They had a little "bounce house" and the Fairy flitted about for some fun!






And went for a little horsey ride:


Sunday 10/31:

We went to church together, at our usual place of late.

After the service, they had a "trunk or treat" for the kiddos, and the fairy girl showed up ready to go!


Grabbed a few pretty shots before they started:



And off to work!


We stopped for a quick lunch after church, and then it was time to go home for nap time!

While she was napping, Grandpa Larry arrived to Trick-or-Treat with her!

We had to do some adjustments to her costume, due to the temperature:


Gramma Dona, Grandpa Larry, Mommy and Amelia headed out for a spin around the block. Then, Gramma stayed behind and switched out with Daddy.

Heading out!



She was quite enthusiastic.... she got a little carried away and ran off on us:


She over-shot a house, and had to double-back:



Negotiating with Grandpa for some candy:


Our pumpkin decor:


Gramma's cool pumpkin:


When we headed back out, Amelia got a comfy ride for the rest of her time trick-or-treating around the neighborhood:


Awesome weekend!!
