Autumn Frolics


A few weeks ago Ella and I went to the Helmer Nature Center's Harvest Festival. It is a tiny nature center tucked into a residential neighborhood. Apparently my father worked there years ago when they were just opening. It was a bit rainy but we had lots of fun!


Ella got her face painted

And she painted a little pumpkin

They had a cider press so Ella got to make her own apple cider!

All that hard work paid off, she had two cups of fresh cider


Ella made a pencil case with paint and stamps

Before we left we stopped to dance to some live folk music

We also had some fun inside the nature center itself. There was a room filled with animals to meet including a squirrel, bunny, crow, tortoise, tarantula, and a big ball python that sat on Ella's lap! We had a really great time, and since it is an annual event I hope I remember to go back again next autumn.
