It is so cool to have a "big" kid around. Compared to last year at this time, Grace is so much more aware of Halloween and fall. She knows what a witch, pumpkin, ghost, and spider are and she understands that some of these things could be "scary". So far, she hasn't seemed afraid and we are careful to use only happy symbols of the season, but she does this funny little fake scream with her hands on her cheeks when she sees the witch scrarecrow we used to decorate the garden outside. 
"It's heavy!"
We told Grace we were going to get pumpkins this afternoon at an old farm a few minutes away from our house. 
They were having a fall festival complete with horses and "cows" to milk.
You KNOW Grace couldn't pass up a chance to ride a horse!
They also had face painting and a place to decorate your pumpkin. 
There were tents with traditional crafts like candle-making and weaving rugs from fabric scraps, farm animals to pet, and these guys - hawks!
We looked at some old fashioned soap, an old iron and ironing board, and a place to cut wood with a hand-held saw. 
And then we took a quick walk in their vegetable garden before heading home.

You guys do the most fun things. It looks like a wonderful outing and Grace, you look like such a big girl. Sending our love from Florida!

Nana and Ba saw scary ghost heads today; but passed on them as they made screaming sounds. Too scary for Grace now. I love the lights that look like ghosts. Might have to buy them for you Grace.
Love Nana
I think that we have a cowgirl on our hands...Aunt Phyl loves horses, and so did my Mom. Maybe, we can go riding sometime?
