Shedd Aquarium and other adventures

Mama and Julia about a week ago at Bass Pro Shop. Mama apologizes about the sideways pic, but she can't figure out how to turn it over!



Julia tonight before bed, showing off her adorable new Halloween PJ's she got from Grandma Jill. Thanks, Grandma Q!



Reading a magazine before bed



The Chicago skyline last Sunday at the Shedd Aquarium



The new Fantasea Dolphin Show. Heavy on theatrics, light on animals!




Julia enjoyed it anyways!

"Mama, I see two turtles!"

"They're right there...see?"

Julia a few days ago, watching her favorite show...Thomas the Train! Notice she has her toy Thomas in her mouth.

Totally 80's Farmer's Market

Julia at the Farmer's Market two days ago. Mama finally managed (well, sort-of) to get a shot of her famous pursed-lips smile!



"Think I'll just sneak in a nectarine...no one's looking, right?"



Julia's favorite place...standing on the couch



Check out her "totally 80's" outfit!

Enjoying a snack at her table. Do not mind the mess in the background or the mess on Julia...she's been sick the last few days. And eating markers.

"Hi, Papa!"

Raisins or apples? Both!

"I love being a big girl!"

Apple Picking and Pumpkin Farm!

On Sept. 20th, Grandma, Papa, Mama and Julia went to pick apples at the farm. They had so many activities for Julia, including a petting zoo.



Julia stole a fallen apple off the ground and decided that it looked scrumptious...



"I'll take it to go..."



"Haha, can't catch me!"

Eating some more...

"Think I will finish this sitting down for a change..."

Still working on it while Mama and Grandma pick apples...

Delish! She worked on that apple for a good 20 minutes and threw the rest on the ground when she decided she had had enough.

Mama and Julia on the BIG chair.

The next set of pictures were taken on October 4th at the Pumpkin Farm.

A pumpkin amongst the pumpkins

Ooo...found a good one, mom!

They had animals here, too! Not to mention Julia went on a train ride, a hayride, and in a mini-moon jumper (they had many of those, not to mention a corn maze, pony rides, a giant slide, and many other activities)!

Grandma, Julia, and Papa

Julia has had so much fun already this fall!
