Mayse Farm Market

This afternoon we finally got around to doing the one fall activity that Rebecca has been talking about for the past few weeks. Before today we had collected leaves for artwork, visited a festival at an apple orchard, picked pumpkins, played in a corn maze, and decorated our porch, but no where had we found a hay wagon to ride. Mayse Farm Market today had wagons running out to their own pumpkin patch. She really had a good time during the ride in the 'bump wagon'. She has dubbed this actvity thus after reading Apples, Apples, Apples, in which the family rides a bumpy wagon to the orchard. Rebecca also went through another corn maze, tried out some slides, and ran the hay bale maze in record time! What a fun fall afternoon!

Daddy had to show her how the straw tunnel worked, but she still wasn't interested in crawling through the darkness.

Rebecca goes to the Pumpkin Patch.

We've been trying to get our hands on and read all sorts of books about autumn and the activities that come with our favorite season. So far Rebecca's favorite is a book called Apples, Apples, Apples. We're planning to go to an apple orchard in the next couple weeks and also to find books about pumpkins, because we've already had the chance to go to a patch not far from here. As for fall time foods, I can't keep cider in the house!!! Rebecca loves 'natural juice', as she calls it and I bet if I ever get around to making a pumpkin pie, she'll find another favorite.

Florida Trip - The End

Wow! Its been quite a week around the Alldredge household and I just haven't found the time to get this trip wrapped up....not to mention I have new pics to share from the past couple weeks. Last Saturday we looked at a house and we fell in love with it, so now we are in the busy stage of paperwork, inspections, insurance, phone calls, and all the other fun things that lead to closing a house deal. We are looking hopefully toward the first week of November for possesion. Between regular housework, trips to the library, morning walks, and organizing closets in preparations for a move I've snagged very little computer time. Aaron has also had a rough week and by the time he makes it home tonight he'll have over eighty hours racked up in just this seven day week. Top all that with a broken dryer and you just have to start laughing at yourself.......its life! ;) Without further ado, here are some shots from our last day aboard the ship on Wednesday ,our last day in Florida, and our long flight home. We spent 7 hours in the Cincinnati airport trying to make it home that Friday and Rebecca was a real trooper and behaved wonderfully even though she was so bored!

On out last day Aaron and I snagged a little time in the afternoon for a lunch date.

I think Triton's was my favorite of the main dining areas.

Very elegant and for lunch classical music was playing
