More FALL FUN!

Ok - so more with the tributes to fall! I just can't help it when the air is so crisp and the evenings are so beautiful with the cooler temps and falling leaves! LOVE IT!

This past weekend, though, was a total 'wash out' with rain - which I'm actually not complaining about because we desperately needed it! It rained from Friday morning until early Sunday morning, so we were stuck doing inside things - still fun (indoor playgrounds, etc.), but not as fun as last weekend, which is where all the pics are from for this post.

Last weekend the Conners were visited by Nana and Bob! We had a wonderful time! They showed us all of their pics from their honeymoon abroad, and then Saturday was full of fun activities. These first two pics are from Eli's Fun Center - a place around here which is filled full of inflatables for kids (ok, and adults too!) http://elisfuncenter.com/ - we ALL enjoyed our time there - jumping, going down slides, and challenging each other to the obstacle course. We have taken Ella before, but each time she enjoys it more and more!

Here she is playing ball - which she was actually really good at!

Then we headed to Harrisonburg to 'Back Home on the Farm' http://www.hesscornmaze.com/magnum.asp a fall/farm festival for kids (ok, and adults too!) There were so many activities and we all had a blast...here Ella is making a friend on her favorite thing in the world - the carousel (and her horse said Ella)!!

There was a 'cow train' which Ella loved...

and pig races which pretty much rivaled the carousel for Ella's favorite activity there. There were three races, and after each one she said "more, more, more" - when they were over, we had to quickly move to another activity to prevent any potential meltdowns!

Then we rode on a hayride -one of MY favorite things! I always love going on hayrides, and this one took us all around the farm and to...

the pumpkin patch! Where Ella picked her own pumpkins - actually she really got into it, so she picked two pumpkins (but they were really small). How fun!!

This coming weekend we are most likely going to an Oktoberfest here in Staunton (with lots of fun activities for children) and then we may be going back to this farm with some of Ella's friends - YAY FALL!!
