The other weekend Matt went on a hiking trip with his brother Eric and 4 other friends, so some of the wives got together to hang out. I had a great weekend with Sarah and Jack, Joy, Leah and Noelle, and Rhonda. We went to a fall festival and had a good time with the kiddos. We took them on a hay ride and I think they had a great time... Well, Jack had a great time while Bella and Noelle slept the entire time.
Here is Bella fast asleep.

Jack loved his blue sucker and his cute little pumpkin.

HAY RIDE!!!!
Thank you Diedra for letting me borrow the cute pink swim suit! We are planning on trying the other two as well. 
Friday we spent a couple hours at Siesta Beach and Bella really enjoyed herself. The sand is very soft and white... who wouldn't enjoy that?? She spent the day playing in sand and even eating the sand. Bella doesn't really enjoy yogurt covered pretzels, but she sure does love her some sand covered pretzels. She wasn't a big fan of playing in the freezing water, but did enjoy me holding her while we splashed a little in the water. Just at the very edge of course. We took several walks along the water and then the rest of the time was spent chasing her around. She loves to explore. She especially loved when people gave her any kind of attention, walking on stranger's towels, bending over to get a lady's attention while the lady was reading a magazine, chasing sea gulls, and just running around. We had a good time, but not sure that we will go back to the beach. We might stick with the pool. It would be less chasing and more relaxing. :)
