 This was last year at a pumpkin patch!

 Lunch time!  Allison, Meagan, Lindsey, Allie, and my mom.

 Hi sweet friend, can you see me??

 My little pumpkin!

 Our Friday fun group had a Fall festival day at Jeri Lynn's house.  We rode with Allison and her kids since Jon was out of town and we stayed at my parents' house that week.  Meagan as Strawberry Shortcake and Allie was a Ballerina Princess. (it was cold that day)

 Allie and Anna Kate who was dressed as Twink from Rainbow Bright.  So cute!

They got to paint little pumpkins!  It was fun to watch all the other kids paint ALL over their pumpkins, hands, clothes and Allie just painted a little bit on hers and was satisfied!  I think she is going to have some artistic talent!

 We also went to a Scare-free festival at one of the church's in SL.  However, a clown is scary to a 2 1/2 year old!  And of course we ran into one right as we got there and as we were leaving!

 Roasting marshmallows.

Yummy and one of my favorite treats!

Horse carriage ride.  Allison and her girls were there and so were some of our other friends, but it was so crowded that we really didn't see them.

Two nights after the festival, Allie woke up in the middle of the night saying "Mommy, Mommy, I need you!"  When I got in her room, she said "remember the clown? with orange hair and big feet?"  I said yes and she continued to describe him.  Then she said "Remember when we were in California (in Sept) and we roasted marshmallows?  We roasted two there!"  (At the festival we only roasted one).  I am always surprised at what she remembers and that it comes out at such random times!  

We did not do any trick or treating because she was actually in bed by 7 that night because she did not nap and had been going non stop for quite a few days.
