This past Saturday we took Tanner to a pumpkin patch in Marthasville, MO. It was a gorgeous day! She liked looking at some goats they had but there really wasn't much for her to do. We picked out a tiny little pumpkin for her & we got 2 pumpkins (1 is about the size of T:) to carve for Halloween.
On Sunday we went to Wolf Fest at the Wild Canid Center (the wolf sanctuary). It was so neat!! Not very many picture opportunities because it's hard to see through the 2 fences with a camera. I was perfectly ok with the 2 fences seperating us from the wolves considering their 1500lbs. of jaw power to my measly 50lbs., lol:) They are such beautiful creatures!
