The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took Abby for her very first trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Abby loved it! She played in a huge pile of little pumpkins that were surrounded by enormous, almost steroidal pumpkins and was completely fascinated by the straw and wood chips on the ground. Abby also enjoyed watching all of the kids bouncing around on the huge trampoline ride close to us as well as the big slide. She took it all in and even got angry when it was time to go! She picked out her very own pumpkin too! A cute pumpkin for our beautiful little ‘punkin. Love you Abby!

Boo At The Zoo

Our afternoon and evening on Saturday was spent up in Santa Barbara. It was a gorgeous day, perfect for a drive and some time at the Santa Barbara Zoo for a special event. Boo at the Zoo started at 5:30 so we left the house around 2:00, which gave us the chance to drive around and stop for ice cream before heading to the zoo.

The Boo at the Zoo event was fun and Abby seemed to have a great time. We didnt get to see the animals as I had hoped but it was nice to walk around. I think that Abby will enjoy it a bit more next year when she understands things better. They had a haunted house set up but unfortunately it was for children 10 and older. They also had tons of booths set up for the kids to trick or treat at. We stopped at a few, but didn’t do too much as we didn’t want to look like the parents that pretend to trick or treat for their kids to get candy for themselves. Although I did enjoy a piece or two. At the top of the hill at the zoo they had carnival games, food and a dj. We enjoyed for a while, watched Abby wiggle her little tooshie to Ghostbusters and then headed back to the car to go home. We had a great time and I cant wait to go again next year when Abby is older! Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween… Another First Us!

Happy Halloween one and all! Its Abigails very first Halloween and while she cant do much and we didn’t dress her up in anything fancy, she is still cute as a button. Our first Halloween was spent doing very little. Visiting with people, watching Ghost Hunters Live, and buying tons of candy for the Trick Or Treaters that never came. Oh well! We had a wonderful quiet evening and we had the chance to spend it with out little girl! Isn’t she cute! *Abigail thanks Grandma and Grandpa Taylor for her Boo!! hat.*

Happy Halloween 2008!
