Maggie had her face painted and chose the orange pumpkin and Jack didn't want to stop long enough to even see what the choices were. They did, however, both agree on one thing...the train ride...go figure. Maggie "choo chooed" her away around the
So, I can officially put a check mark by Fall Festival 2011and now it's time for the rest of our fall fun. I'm thinking a Pumpkin Patch visit is on the horizon!
