Autumn's Saturday Larks: A Recap

Someday's our adventures are grand, but most of the time they are ordinary. Sometimes they are new & bring a smile to J's face and other's just a little bit scary as all firsts can be. 

Your little face, J, says it all in this photo below, swinging on the swings for the first time can be a little scary even if all the other children are quite interesting to watch. And can I just say we are swinging outside in November! 

November 12, Swinging in the Park for the First Time

Yes, we finally did get your Juniper Tree planted after it sat in the garage for quite some time... and oh dear your fall coat is much too large. It looks like we have some weeding and landscaping to do next summer.

September 24

I was so delighted when we found a local pumpkin patch this summer with a hot chili lunch & entertainment. L thought the clown's magic tricks were a little ridiculous but just the same it was the first time J had ever seen a clown. The clown announced just when we approached that he was not making any more balloon animals beyond the balloons he had already distributed as he had another engagement to get to.


There was a balloon floating around on the ground near J and no one appeared interested in claiming it so I picked it up for J and she was delighted to hold it and watch the clown's silly magic tricks and hear the songs.


We got the obligatory pumpkin patch picture and J munched on some hay too.

It's been fun thinking of ways to get out and exciting to see them through J's eyes. 

Where have your Saturday larks taken you this fall?
