Fall Weekends and Hayrides

This weekend was the Fall Festival at the Reston Town Center. We went and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. We got there right as it started, which was good in some ways... but then it seemed to take forever for the time for the store-to-store Trick or Treating to come. I don’t think it was as fun as last year... but it was still well worth the $5 donation to get in. Last year we looked at the line for face painting, but it was so long we didn’t dare attempt it. This time we arrived just after it began and jumped into the short line right away. The face painters are wonderful. Very talented and quick. It’s a good thing too as they were mobbed the entire event. Also last year we missed out on the hay rides because of the lines and we able to make it on easy peasy this year.... right after the face painting. The giant Belgium horses were going a pretty good clip... making me a little nervous sitting on that slippery hay! I’m such a chicken! Here is me and A~ before the horses took off. You can see the incredible face painting... really made my little princess stand out!




A~ made me a collage Saturday morning. She glued bits of ribbon on to make the flower petals. Turned out very cute. It is now adorning the guest room door.



Before I go... here’s a layout I made for the October wall over at Scrapbooks Plus. This is Sergio and A~ on the hayride at Cox’s Farm about a month ago. We just love hayrides!


much love,
