We had fun walking around the dark zoo looking at the displays and some cool pumpkins. I was too little to trick-or-treat. Mommy and Daddy said that was fine with them because the lines were CRAZY!!
We saw this cool snake made out of pumpkins.
I liked sitting by the pumpkins and pulling myself up on them.
I was really excited to get a close up look at the goats and touch them for a brief second. I was so excited I started letting out some of my happy screams and the goats walked away from me!
"Mama, Dada, where did the goats go?"
We got peek at this guy on the other side of the fence. He walked away shortly after Mommy took this picture. I was just trying to tell them I thought they were cool and they left me!
There were cute little houses with rocking chairs on the porches. They were just my size. I didn't want to sit for long though, there was a lot to see!
I went inside one of the houses and sat by the "fire."
Daddy went with me into the gingerbread house.
Hmmm... what's this new stuff?
We had a lot of fun at Land of the Giants. It was perfect for me! Maybe next year I can climb on some of the things there.
Here's some video of Ava playing in the pumpkin guts. I think she would have played in it for hours if we would have let her!
As soon as Daddy pulled the top off I reached for the seeds!
What's in this big bowl?
I helped Daddy scoop some seeds and pulp out.
After a few scoops, I wanted to see what was inside that big orange pumpkin. I looked inside...
then I tried to chew on the side of the pumpkin.
Here's my first jack-o-lantern!
Last weekend Ava figured out how to use her walker on her own. She still likes to run into things though!
Hmmmm...Daddy is that sweatshirt from the ESS dept?
Mommy told me about all the fun things in LaCrosse. She said I'd have fun there and that her and Daddy will take me there to visit soon. They say they are going to expose me to the area early so I will fall in love with it just like they did!
Our neighbors, Ray and Shirley, were watching me check out the treasures. I was talking to them a lot while my pictures were being taken. I also showed off and walked with Daddy for them.
I was interested in the conversation the adults were having!
Hmmm...this pear gourd is pretty interesting.
I liked pulling the curlies on the apple gourd.
I thought I was hot stuff standing by this pumpkin!
Here I am with one of the little gourds I picked out.
Now these are pumpkins I can handle!
I'm on to more fun things! Terry told Mommy to try giving me yogurt and cheese before my 12 month wellness check to see how my body tolerates the milk protein in those dairy products. If all goes well, we are hoping to be able to get the clear from Terry or Dr. Rocco to start whole milk after my appointment. Terry wanted me to try foods that have less milk protein in them first. I LOVE the yogurt and am handling it well. Mommy and Daddy are pretty sure I've outgrown my milk-protein allergy! They were worried because my allergy was so severe when I was little.
Bye bye, Neocate formula!
The other night Chris was eating a banana and Ava wanted him to share it. Between her bites of banana she was showing off her yoga moves!
A perfect sized pumpkin for me.
This is me with my friend, Addy. She put her arm around me for the picture!
This was the "Jack and Jill" pumpkin display.
Winnie the Pooh and his friends were at the pumpkin farm too. Thanks for a fun morning, Callewaerts!
