Pumpkin Fest

Abby's school had Pumpkin Fest yesterday afternoon. It was a fun family activity. Caroline stayed with Nonnie and Pops while Abby enjoyed some alone time with Mommy and Daddy. We took our own pumpkin to carve.

Abby helps Daddy.

Scooping out the seeds.

She was scared of the live scarecrow. I tried to get her to sit next to him, but this was as close as she got.
We talked about riding the pony for two days and Abby was very excited to try it. After waiting in a 15 minute line, Abby mounted the pony and decided this experience was not for her. The story does not end there. As we walked away, she stopped and said "Pony, shoot!" She was so exasperated and was motioning with her hands. It was sad. She wanted to ride it, but just couldn't muster up enough courage. Maybe next year!
