It was a great Fall "Vegetable"...

and no I'm not talking about zucchini. We went to a Fall Festival today at a local nature park. For some reason Lauren thought it was called a Fall Vegetable. So we had a great time at the Vegetable. There were snakes and fish and turtles to see, cookies to make, necklaces to string, faces to paint and pumpkins to color - and really a pumpkin is a vegetable right - and if that isn't a great fall vegetable I don't know what is...

It was a good day. The kids had fun, the weather was perfect, the sky was that great clear blue that only comes in early autumn and I felt like I did my share of tree hugging for the day - and usually I'm not big on that tree hugging stuff - it reminds me too much of camping :-)

Here are the highlights.
