Homestead Harvest

As part of my acceptance for the summer being gone, we've made plans for almost every fall festivity you can name. Fortunately many fall festivals and events are either really cheap or free. If you haven't tried the Homestead Harvest and are interested, put it on the calendar to consider next year -- it's worth it! There were lots of activities for all ages. Our timing was perfect and allowed for us to meet up with a few different friends.

Riding a pony is a huge plus. This time Vanessa's daddy was able to take her for ride. Again she was able to pick first the pony she wanted to ride. She must have a thing for dark horses and ponies because once again she went for the almost all black pony. The pony's name is Shadow. Vanessa rode Midnight at the Franklin County Fair.

We checked out turtles, geckos, and other reptiles:

One turtle didn't like being confined to his cage:

And of course the Moonbounce was a hit! When time was up, Vanessa refused to get out. Mommy had to climb in and pull her out. She didn't throw too big of a tantrum though, and she went back to eating popcorn rather quickly.

We walked through the scarecrow field and this was our favorite:

On to the next event!
