Swings

(Even Kitty got in on the action ... )

The weather was absolutely gorgeous today! When Blake left for work, the girls and I couldn't resist walking over to the playground. They spent most of their time on the swings, both in the traditional sense and also on their bellies pretending to fly. It is so nice to finally be getting some fall-like weather down here in Tampa, especially on a Saturday when we can enjoy it!

Pumpkin Festival

We went to the 4th Annual Mallard Pumpkin Festival last week.  Here are some pictures from the day:

Pony Rides!

"Which way do we go to get out of the maze, Evie?" 

Evie feeding Bambi.

At the circus.  Evie thought the acrobats were gonna fall! 

One and a half beautiful people being photo-bombed by port-a-potties. 

You have to get some ice cream, you know!

Darcy said : "I want the ugly pumpkin!"  

This is the girls riding the train car which was so bumpy we were afraid they'd fall out! 

Home sick

My little monkey has a cold.  :(

Photo girl

We had some downtime at the festival so I gave Evie my phone to play with.  Here's what she did with it:

Swangin'

At the pumpkin festival, this was Evelyn's favorite ride:

Family portrait

The Mallards got a recent photo of their family!  We couldn't cut and paste the photo so we took a screen grab instead. This is one of the best of the bunch.

Grandparents,  your prints have already been ordered!

Big Olaf!

It's that time of year again...

Spent the birthday putting out decorations for Halloween.  I'm so excited!!  So is someone else:

All growed up

Evelyn put this outfit together herself.  When we said she looked so grown up she replied: I just keep getting bigger.  

True.
