Urban Cowgirl

I like to get as much use out of costume as possible... which is why I bought this one about 2 months before Halloween. Leah has been wearing pieces of it around the house from time to time. She also got to wear it to a costume event last Friday night... we took Aunt Leslie with us, had dinner and looked at crazy folks. Speaking of...
Leah doesn't do crowds... so it took her a while to loosen up... or smile

When she first laid eyes on the fire hydrant...
She spent LOTS of time with this fire hydrant... I think if the Hamburgler idea falls through, she will be a fireman next year.

We saw a couple of good friends but didn't get many great pictures except for this one of Blakely the Butterfly, which I think is priceless...
Waiting for dinner = grumpy girl


After dinner and 5 - 7 M&Ms = happy, silly girl

Once her tummy was full (and the millions of people had cleared off the square) all the real fun began... She gave this frog a good talking to...
They kissed and made up...

In the window of an antique shop she saw this family praying and immediately said some prayers of her own...
As we were leaving, she saw this flag, screamed "FLAG!!" then she flung her hat to the ground and began the Pledge of Allegiance... according to Leah. (Her best word is America.... the rest is sort of just humming and gibberish to the cadence of the pledge)

Later in the weekend... All 4 of Leah's grandparents were serving with their church at the Fall Festival in Firewheel. So with one stop we got to see everyone, including Aunt Leslie again!

For this event we tried pig tails for the first time. She didn't like them until Daddy told her how much HE liked them. Then she was happy.
Daddy showed Leah how to pull a wagon through throngs of candy seekers...


Big Britches... pulling her buddy "RAR" the lion. (Leah named him... not ROAR, to be sure, it's RAAAAR)

Night yall!
