today we went to the "fall festival" at the ranch where damian works. after a week of rain (longer actually) the sun came out today for the fun.
maddie has been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now. she's been anxious to ride a horse. i didn't know if she'd get scared at the last minute but she didn't! she was over the moon. here she is on her horse (okay, a pony really --but to her it's a horse!):
noel had fun watching her from the sidelines:

and he even got a turn in a saddle:
cousin keenin learned how to use a lasso...
...while maddie searched for goodies in the hay with pappy.
there was a pumpkin patch where the kids got to pick out one to take home. noel got a big one (nana's holding it up for him)...
and maddie chose the smallest one. she calls it her "baby."
we all had fun exploring the farm and all the activities.
well, all of us except dame.
he's working all day doing parking patrol. but it was fun for him since he got to wear a spiffy vest and use an orange flag to direct cars.
anyway, that's what we did today! here's the grand finale... the group photo!
