The Hunsberger Herald: October 2010

Before we get to the field trip updates I feel compelled to show proof that our Abigail is not a baby anymore. She is very quickly becoming a big girl and pushing more for her independence everyday. "Abigail do it," is the most commonly used phrase in her vocabulary these days and applies to everything from getting dressed and putting her shoes on to buckling her car seat and using the potty (more on the potty subject in another post to come). Needless to say, it takes us a LONG time to accomplish some simple tasks in our house because of her insistence on doing things herself. Look how big she looks in one of the super cute outfits that Nana made her!

Fall is finally here....well, sort of. It is still in the mid-eighties here each day, but getting better and better. Despite the unseasonably warm temps, we have been participating in various Fall activities to welcome the season.

Two weeks ago we took our first ever trip to the Mississippi State Fair! The fair comes to town each October for a couple of weeks and is a BIG deal here in Mississippi. We went one afternoon while you could get in free to check out the Kid's Barnyard and petting zoo.

Abigail liked most of the animals and enjoyed feeding them, ... all except this interesting looking creature below. She was not impressed!

Overall, the fair did not disappoint and we look forward to going back (Mommy and Daddy especially look forward to the jumbo corn dogs and deep fried oreos!)

Our next field trip was last week to the local pumpkin patch. Our visit included a hayride, visiting the animals, picking a pumpkin and playing around outside.
