The Great Pumpkin eludes us again...


Sunday was a beautiful fall day, so the family piled into the Volvo and headed over to Butler's Orchard in Germantown, MD for a day at the PumpkinFest. Evie had a great time playing in hay (although she couldn't quite figure out what it was), running around in the corn maze, and sliding down a big slide with Daddy. One thing she did NOT like was feeding the goats - apparently they were a little close for comfort.
Whee! Down the slide with daddy!
Do I get to pick the pumpkin? I am much happier this year than last year when Mom and Dad propped me up against a pumpkin and I didn't know what was going on! (see below)


Then, after we had picked out a pumpkin and got some apple cider doughnuts, the family headed to Del Ray for the 13th Annual Halloween Parade. Evie clapped as other kids in costumes walked by, including dogs. All the little dachshunds dressed up like hot dogs reminded us of Tootsie.

Evie actually must like her lion cub costume because she makes no attempt to get the hood off!

Yum - I love my pumpkin-flavored frozen custard from the Dairy Godmother. Tasty!
