Time to Paint!

Maya is only 2 1/2 years old, so carving pumpkins is a little out of her league, and I didn't think that it would be any fun for her to watch us carve a pumpkin. So, we got 2 medium sized pumpkins and I got out all of the finger paints, and we let her go wild and have fun decorating her pumpkins.

She got messy and had a really good time doing so. We all had fun watching a some of us even got to participate!

This was her first masterpiece.

She let the rest of us help her a little on this one.

The Pumpkin Patch

We had such a blast at the pumpkin patch this year. Not only did we get to pick out some great looking pumpkins, but they had so many activities there as well. This particular pumpkin patch is on the way to Maya's school so every morning for the last couple weeks when we pass, she yells "Look Momma, look at that HUGE spider!" So she was pretty excited to see him up close!




After we took this picture, she immediately took off for the corn maze behind us. We finished in record time if you ask me, it took us about 10 minutes to get through. However we didn't even see half of the maze. We must be good with navigation! :)

Then of course the part we went there for! Picking out our pumpkins! Maya decided that she wanted to pull the wagon with the pumpkins in it, so with a little help from Daddy, she pulled them for a few minutes. After she was tired of that, she decided she'd rather ride with them.

She couldn't wait to get home to start decorating her pumpkins!

County Fair

We made it to the county fair this year! We were so excited to take Maya to see the animals & especially for the rides! As soon as we got there the first thing she wanted to ride was the Ferris wheel. Talk about NO FEAR! Donny was a little more unsure about getting on such a tall ride, but Maya already had her heart set on it. So of course, that was the first attraction we got in line for. She seemed to really like being up high, she could see the entire fair grounds and she got to sit next to Grandma for the ride.
