Fall in Arizona

Now that it is finally cooling off here in Arizona, we’ve come out of swimming/hibernation mode and are enjoying walks, playing in the park, and being outside.

Lately Ava has been liking the tractors, so the park that has an old tractor is a perfect opportunity for her to do a little driving.

When Papa and Lola (Scott’s parents) were in town, we went to a farm that had a fall festival. Ava is getting ready to get on a horse for a ride…she overcame a little apprehension and then didn’t want to get off.

Ava liked the pigs in the petting zoo.

And Ava and Sofia liked the big hay maze.

Here’s Papa explaining the engineering of the carousel to Ava the following day.

In typical girlie girl fashion, Ava needs certain accessories when she goes in the car, starting with a pair of cool shades.IMG_0067

Besides all the outside fun, Ava is having lots of fun at school. At lunchtime she tells us who she played with at school, what they did, etc.

Ava is also a little climbing machine – whether it is getting into her car seat by herself, or her high chair, or up the ladders or slide, Ava is happy when she’s on the go.

Speaking of which….got to run! Stay tuned for the Halloween pictures.
