Autumn day

One day last week I took advantage of a beautiful autumn day by going to a local reserve during my lunch. I took well over 100 pictures in a very short period of time. Here are some of my favorites!

Is the building leaning or was it me?

This one looks like it is upside down but it isn't!

Weekend in review

This weekend was a busy one for the Allen girls.

Saturday night the girls were each invited to different parties. Megan's party was a birthday party consisting of a haunted hay ride!

Emily's party was a costume party complete with three pinatas!!!

Sunday afternoon we carved the pumpkins we bought last weekend. This is the first time the girls really did everything on their own. The only thing Ron and I did was help clean the guts and hold the pumpkin when the girls were carving.

Eyes, nose, round mouth, and the other circles are the cheeks.

Em took this in the truck on the way to her party!

Triple F's...Fall...Foy's....Fulton

Today we went to Fairborn which is home to the Foy's family shops. One of the shops is a five and dime store. The rest of the stores are Halloween costumes, props, etc. There is also a Rock and Roll diner which has the BEST food!!!

After Foy's we went to Fulton Farms. We didn't take the hay ride to the pumpkin patch this year because it was too muddy but the girls were able to play in the kids area!

Through the years

While going through old pictures for Emily's birthday, I came across a few from various trips to the Columbus Zoo. The elephant statue seems to have gotten smaller through the years...

Miley Cyrus

One of Emily's friends invited Emily to a Miley Cyrus concert!!! The concert was in Columbus, Ohio on October 7. The tickets were a present from the friends mom in lieu of a birthday party.

At 5:30 Emily was picked up and after a trip through Wendy's drive-thru they were on their way to Columbus!!!

This was Emily's first concert and she had a blast! She said she was losing her voice from screaming so much! She remembered to tell Daddy what the final two songs were but couldn't remember the first song!

Her favorite part was when Miley Cyrus sang the song "I Love Rock and Roll" and "drove" around the arena on a motorcycle.

My least favorite part was $35 for a t-shirt (she had to buy one for Megan too!)!!!

The next morning Emily woke up for school like a champ and asked me when Miley was coming back to Ohio and could we please go?!

Thank you Farrah for inviting Emily to be your guest for the evening!
