Basketball started, so pictures (and everything else in my life for that matter) will be scarce until the holidays! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up then! We went to the State Fair for Adam's 30th birthday in October. Mikayla loved everything about it. She actually fell asleep on the tray to her stroller. Face-planted on the tray - not leaning back comfortably, because she was too interested in everything going on at the fair. She finally gave it up, though. She just couldn't hold on any longer. We tried the fried bacon, which was all the rage this year. We had heard about it everywhere - from friends, television newscasts, newspapers, everyone was talking about it. It was quite tasty, but I could actually feel my arteries clogging. It's one of those novelty foods that once you have tried it, you never have to eat it again. And I won't.
Halloween came around, and we went to the Gateway Church Fall Festival. We went last year as well, and it's huge. I was impressed by how many things they have for kids of all ages to do. Mikayla got to pet the animals in the Petting Zoo; there were chickens, pigs, a llama, goats and more. She was a little intimidated by all the animals, though. She got to play a lot of games for candy, too. Adam's best friend, Travis, his girlfriend, Jenny, and Jenny's 6-year-old son Gavin spent Halloween with us. Mikayla was a ladybug, while Gavin was a ninja. They were really cute together! We went to two churches on Halloween for their "Trunk or Treat" festivals, and Mikayla got even more candy. Then we came back to the house, and we went around the block trick-or-treating. Mikayla got really good at saying "Trick or Treat" and holding out her bucket!
