Scarecrows & Pumpkins & Gardens, Oh My!

This weekend we ventured out to the Gardens for Paige’s first visit.  The place was packed, but we had a great morning and Liam was psyched about seeing the scarecrows.  The difference between this trip and the last time we went (when I was very pregnant, the heat index hit 105, and Liam was pre-preschool and big brotherhood and therefore much less adventurous) was night and day.

Liam spent a large amount of time running away from us at breakneck speed and then “falling” and lying on the ground until we caught up, this was one such time:
