Ride Away!

 

The search has begun.  Camille and Gabe's warty pumpkin faces.   

The One. 

Everyone else placed their finds between their feet. 

The One rode next to us. The newest member of the family. 

Toothless

         The two front teeth as babies are no more.  Permanent please hold back awhile.
                                                            I'll take toothless.

The wheels are turning.

We are blessed to be in the midst of such beauty in Skagit Valley. We drive by field after field breathing in freedom and toil.  Every Fall the Festival of Farms is here.  My berry and I are at the above mentioned Sakuma Bros.   

 

Wow! Now that's a tractor!

 In awe. 

Possibilities

One Saturday, we stumbled upon a Fall Festival in downtown Mount Vernon.  The Food Co-op had an area set-up where the kids could make costumes out of fabric.  Camille transformed herself into a Butterfly.

Fly.
