September and the beginning of October was unseasonably warm for Minnesota. Like 85 degrees when it should have been 60 degrees. I was raking piles of leaves in a tank top and shorts. Although, I enjoyed it, I kept postponing our apple orchard visit because I wanted Penelope to wear a cute fall outfit. Well, last weekend it dipped to the high 60s and off we went to Minnetonka Orchards. In life's ironic way, I pulled out the camera, snapped two photos, saw the battery light blink, say "Oh No!" and the camera was dead! Here are the two adorable pictures...isn't it a cute fall outfit?
I'm pretty sure Chris thought I was going to hyperventilate. All the picture perfect moments and no camera! I took a deep breath and told him "You know what, I'll just enjoy myself and not worry about pictures." And we did have a great time. There were all sorts of barnyard animals, a folk band, a great hay ride through the woods and yummy apple and pumpkin treats. Penelope kept gravitating towards the little kid train that went around the corn maze. It was about a 8 minute ride and almost the entire time she would not be able to see us. Chris was sure the moment the train turned the corner she would scream her head off. I decided he was probably right, but she wanted to go on it so bad. I bought the ticket, put her in the little seat, showed her how to honk the horn and off she went with a huge smile on her face. She was definitely the youngest on the train. Chris and I walked around with worried looks as if we just sent her over the pond to go to school at Cambridge. It's pretty silly since we drop her off at daycare every morning, but she knows all those people. Soon enough we heard the train coming around the other side of the corn maze. Lo and behold, there was Penny honking her horn. She saw me and Chris and started waving and blowing kisses. Chris shook his head and said "that kid is all you!" I gave her a huge high five when she got off the train and she said "Mama, mas train!!" and promptly threw a tantrum when she couldn't go around again... definitely just like mommy.
