Pontoon Storytime
Anna & Mommy went on a very cool mid-week adventure--pontoon story time! After getting our life jackets, we set off to learn about & look for bald eagles. Our tour guide and storyteller extraordinaire warned us that we were unlikely to see any eagles, but would probably see some other fun animal friends. We saw turtles basking, a great blue heron and, lo and behold, two bald eagles! It was a great nature adventure and Anna loved being on a boat.

Skele-pumpkin
During Aunt Julie's last visit, she brought Anna a Mr. Potatohead style Skeleton Pumpkin. Anna & Mommy had a lot of fun putting it together! Thanks, Aunt Julie!

Just a day on the farm...
From whitewashing a fence to making her own hand-dipped candle, Anna got a taste of farm living at the Agricultural Festival. It was a day of family fun--from the sheepdog display to some family tin-smithing. What a great way to kick off the fall!

PBS Rules!
A hot September Saturday at the National Book Festival meant lots of free stuff about reading--including some great new books--AND getting to meet some PBS characters, including Abby Cadaby, Sid the Science Kid & DUCK from Word World. Anna said she "really enjoying meeting the people dressed as characters"--no fooling this kid. :)

Splish SPLASH!!
On a fun (if not a tiny bit chilly!) Saturday, Mommy, Daddy & Anna headed to Brookside Nature Center (one of our favorite places!) for a stream splash. There was some serious splashing, along with trying to catch fish and other watery friends with a big net. Daddy managed to catch a little fish, which quickly we let go to be with her family.
