Fall Fun with the Omaha Inzerellos!

From the moment Grandma & Grandpa Inzerello and Auntie Erin & Uncle Stu arrived, Mia was showered with gifts and attention. The real treat was seeing everyone again, but between that, the Halloween gear, & the girly toys, she couldn't have been more excited.

Mia doesn't really do kisses on the cheek just yet, she just goes for it. Grandma didn't mind.

As Mia gets more and more teeth, we let her gnaw on all kinds of things. This leftover and slightly stale baguette made her day.

All the Inzerello girls hanging out in the kitchen.

During our long weekend with everyone, we decided to take Mia to a pumpkin patch.

On our approach from the parking lot she had no idea how much fun was in store.

The first highlight was, of course, the "kup-pins". These ones were just her size.

She had a great time reorganizing all of the nice arrangements.

And she soon discovered the larger varieties.


She really wanted to pick this one up.

Then we moved on to some of the other attractions, like this "horse".

Rodeo queen!

A brief ride in the coach...


And then on to the REAL highlight - the animals.
First the ducks, peacocks, and a turkey...

A donkey, which Mia thought was a horse...

Goats that she could go in and pet... That lasted until I watched a goat relieve himself in the straw I was standing in with flip flops.

A pony... I don't know who liked the pony more, Mia or Auntie Erin. Who doesn't love a pony?

The pigs with Uncle Stu...

And chickens & bunnies with Grandma, complete with a freshly laid egg...

Next were the wooden John Deers. Apparently she prefers to be in the driver's seat & was ready to arm wrestle this little guy for the wheel. Grandpa would have backed her up.

Ahh... finally.

We all had so much fun hanging out with everyone for the weekend!

It was tough to say goodbye...
Thanks for making the drive!
