Baby Lorelei, Baby Gorilla

Since Lorelei's 1st visit to the zoo on her 1st birthday, we've taken her picture at the Baby Gorilla statue as many times as possible. I thought it might be time to see how she's grown up.

Pumpkin Farm Field Trip

On Monday, we were blessed with great weather to visit Ebert's Pumpkin Farm in Ixonia. Again, Mama Jamie signed up to chaperone along with many other parents...so many, that we only had to watch our own.

 

Lorelei chose the biggest pumpkin she could find. And, here's what we did with it.

 

 

Halloween Is Here !!!

It's still a week away, but, we are already having lots of fun going to Halloween parties and Trick or Treating.

On Friday morning, we went to the Children's Play Gallery for a Halloween party where we got to hang with our boyfriend, Gabriel. We played there for 3 hours and won treats and prizes before we had to go to school.

 

 

 

On Friday night, Mama Jamie took Lorelei to the Three Pillars (a senior citizen home) for their famous Halloween/Trick or Treating event. First, let me say Lorelei was wonderful, patient, well-behaved and the event was very well-organized, there were multiple different themed sections, and everyone was very nice. They also had mascots there (including a very scary-looking Roger Rabbit) and the residents were so sweet handing out the candy. BUT, I was not prepared to wait outside in the cold for over 90 minutes !!!! It was very nice, we crossed it off the bucket list, but, probably won't do that one again.

 

 

On Saturday, we went to the Halloween Spooktacular at the zoo. It was a bit busy, but, we didn't have any 90 minute wait to get in! :) We also got to see the famous 'Elephant Eating Pumpkins' event or whatever they call it. :)

 

 

 

Today we dressed up like Dorothy and Glinda and went to the Glacier Rock Farms. It's a petting zoo during the summer and a Haunted House adventure in the fall. We got to go in (no monsters) during the daytime and go Trick or Treating. At the petting zoo, we got to hold a guinea pig, a chinchilla, chickens, ride a pony, and feed cows!
