On October 11th, we met up with friends from Rich's work at a fall festival in San Marcos for a hot, but, fun and dirty day! First stop was the petting zoo. I turned around for a minute and turn back to find Joseph holding a chicken...what?! Let the dirty fun begin!
We then waited in line for the pony rides which was the best $10.00 spent all day! Joseph and Ella both LOVED it and was totally worth the 25 minute wait. Thankfully we waited, in the shade, with Katya (the 7 year old daughter) whom Joseph and Ella both adore so they were thoroughly entertained while waiting.
So, Ella absolutely LOVED riding the horse! Seriously, she had the biggest grin on her face the entire time. You can take the girl out of Texas but can't take the Texas out of the girl, I guess!
She came running to me after with this huge grin on her face! Seriously, SO happy!!
They had a pumpkin patch there (which I use the term "patch" very loosely) so both picked pumpkins and decorated them. The pumpkins have been the centerpieces on our kitchen table all month long!
Julia loved pointing at all of the animals and was a great sport watching her older siblings have all the fun! Next year sweet girl!
We ended the afternoon with some face painting (a teenage mutant ninja turtle and a doctor's headlamp) and then went for bbq for lunch-figured we'd soak up all of the "Texas" we could that day, although the bbq was nothing compared to our favorites back in the lone star state!
Ella and her crazy smiles!! She makes me laugh!
