Harvest Party

Ainsley has made a few new friends lately and we were invited to a 4th birthday Harvest party this weekend. Ainsley had a lot of fun at the party with her new friend and experiencing some new fall activities.

Here she is painting a pumpkin. She made a very beautiful abstract design. I have had it on my window sill in the kitchen admiring it. I'm sure we'll be painting pumpkins again next year.

They also had a pony ride and a hay ride. Of course Ainsley was excited about Shadow, the pony! She sure is an animal lover. There is a pet somewhere in our future, hopefully not something quite this large!

Out of everything though, she was most excited about bobbing for apples. She talked about this from the time we got the invitation. She had a blast getting wet up to her pig tails. She had a few young coaches on the sideline tipping her off to the stem trick.

Check it out mom, I got it!

We're so thankful that God is bringing these new friends into Ainsley's life. This particular friend is close to our home out in Independence and he has also blessed us with a new friend down the street from Papa and Gigi's house. Even after three years of living in Missouri we are still finding our way and he is guiding us.
