Last weekend Jason and I stole away for a Saturday afternoon trip to the Cubs vs. Cardinals
game. If you're just tuning in, Jason is a Cardinals fan (boo) and I'm a Cubs fan (yay). Cubs won, of course, although Jason was quick to point out that it doesn't matter since they are both out of it anyway. Three months ago, when we got the tickets with Jon and Lindsay, it was a great idea. Oh well, it was still a fun afternoon. I headed back home after the game to get Marin who spent the day ringing in fall with Grandma and Grandpa.
Grandma and Grandpa took Marin to the Autumn Festival in our town, put on by the park district. They held it at Peck Farm, which is a historic farm that the city
purchased to maintain for historic purposes, along with acres
and acres of wet land and prairie. It was the perfect place for the festival, which included pony rides, two uncaged calves that the children could walk right up to and pet, cows, horses, pumpkin painting and more. A child's paradise.
Marin had a blast, and has a beautifully decorated pumpkin to prove it. I'm told that she especially loved the cows, and seeing her neighbor Parker. But I think what she loved most are the people who dedicated their day to taking her there. Does this kid have the greatest Grandma and Grandpa on the planet? I think so.
