Fall Fun

did i mention our little family loves Autumn? On the first day of fall we went to a corn festival - and yesterday we went to a small pumkin field and hoped on our second hay ride for the year. The place was small, yet perfect - no crowds, just a few other kids and tag along adults - we stayed for hours watching the animals graze and eating home made ice cream on the lush grass. The weather is cooling off slightly, which made for nice day trips. 

I sometimes turn off the automatic function on the camera - and - like Angie it is hit or miss - sometimes the shutter speed is too slow?fuzzy pictures - or their is too much light?we look like we were just beamed down from mars - I am trying to get better at working this camera.

Hay ride #1
HOLY SHIT - When did my 23 month old turn into Elmo? Thanks Nee Nee :)
J was having a big time in his new elmo get up - and throwing a ball - some past-times are still as much fun as they were a hundred years ago. Jackson and our neighbour Alexis played with this ball for ages - laughing every time.

It has been two weeks since elmo came to our house - now J asks to have his elmo on - and generally just smiles and walks around in elmo. I am not going to be able to get him to be a bee for halloween am I?
