Fall Activities

I need to catch you up on what went on in October! I made Maegan a flannel nightgown. She got to choose the fabric and she loves it, but I'm itching to do another one that fits better. I shortened the sleeves a bit too much and didn't shorten the rest of it quite enough. Oh well...

We visited Howell's Pumpkin Farm in Cumming, IA with some friends and Maegan had a blast. She had a really hard time deciding which pumpkin to pick. Here she is with the one that she finally chose.

The pumpkin farm had lots of fun activities like this huge tire swing. She and her new friend, Sami, posed for pictures on this one. They also had a HUGE slide that Sami's mom rode down with Maegan, Sami, and Sami's little brother. It was so fast that they slid right off the end into the mud! They had a corn crib with shovels that I think was Maegan's favorite. There was also a pedal-tractor race track (she can't pedal and steer quite well enough to do that yet), and a big stack of hay that she climbed up with a little encouragement. Then there were the goats, rabbits, and other animals to watch and feed. She was brave enough to pet a rabbit, but didn't care to feed the goats.

Here's a water pump that she loved to work.
