Fall Festival with Avery

While Dad and Aubrey were on a weekend trip

to Wisconsin for a cattle sale, that meant quality time

for Mom and Avery! 

On Saturday morning, we had a great time at the

1st Reformed Church in Pella's fall festival!

It was FREE and perfect weather - Avery had a lot of fun!

We got there right when it started and she was the first one to paint her pumpkin!

She enjoyed a few rides on the barrel train. 

Couldn't quite make it up without a little help...it was slippery with socks on.

No fear sliding down a few times!

This was more her size.

I couldn't believe it...THIS was her favorite part!

We had to go back to it 3 times and she wanted to pet them all!

(I think both Grandma Char and Grandma VG have had an impact on 

her to like those kitties)

She could have played in they soybeans for hours.

Yup, Mom was there!

We waited in line for quite a bit, but Avery

was all giggles and smiles so it was worth it!

We then hit the consignment shop for a new Halloween costume

and she chose Jimmy Johns for lunch!

She is turning into quite the big girl - love her!

Here's where she put her pumpkin for about 5 minutes

and then decided that the bees might get it so 

we had to bring it in and put in on our table as a centerpiece :)
