Greenbluff Fall 2009

We finally made it up to Greenbluff this fall. Our schedule was so crazy it was hard to find a time. We managed to find an hour on Sunday to get up there. We had a few things on our list to do once we were up there.

1- Get Pumpkins

Sean and Mae were the master pumpkin pickers. Mae picked out the little ones for her, it was funny because she took her time and checked them all out like Sean did. The pics show both of their processes in finding a great pumpkin.

Just looking at them, deciding which is best.

Nope not that one, try again.
She finally found one. It had to have a stem.
Seans turn now. This one looks good. Checking all sides. Yup this one works great. It was the one we ended up buying.

2- Take Annual Pictures

They have these every year, so therefore we have to take pictures of us in them every year. We got one of all of us this year it was pretty funny.

Daddy-O, Mae was cracking up when Sean was poking his head out.

Mommasitas turn.

Mae was saying "cheese" like a champ.

We also plan on taking her picture by this height chart every year. It gonna be fun to watch her growth this way. We were having a hard time getting her to stand still for the picture.
Finally we discovered that if I held her hands she would pose for a minute.

3- Ride Ponys

Mae loves to talk about horses, but when she gets up close to them she wants nothing to do with them. We tried to get her to ride on the wagon pulled by the big horses and she wouldn't do it. Then we talked about riding the ponies, at first she wanted nothing to with them. But then somehow we convinced her to give them a shot. She had so much fun! Laughing and talking the whole time, she kept talking about the "cow" horsey (it was black and white). After we finally got her on the pony it was hard to get her off. We decided that was an ok thing, she faced her horse fear and won.
One last final picture of Mae and I after her pony ride!

Happy Greenbluff Day!
