Fall Fun (plan B)

well, we had these fabulous plans to go to the Oatland Island Wildlife Center (near Tybee Island) to attend the Halloween Hike.  This is a great, non scary event, designed for younger children.  We've been attending this since 2010, soon after we first moved down here.  And last year our friends and neighbors joined us, and we all had a blast!  We were going to attend with our friends again last night, til I looked at the radar....they got a head start, and arrived just as we were leaving, only to report that they were experiencing on and off rain showers.  That was enough for these fair-weathered friends, and we immediately turned around and headed back home to work on Plan B......these poor girls were literally all dressed up with nowhere to go:(


But, although we were disappointed we didn't get to do the Halloween Hike with our friends (not sure if they wound up doing it either?), our plan B turned into a fabulous and relaxing evening!

there was Hay to jump on and off:)

Pumpkins to pose by:

cobbler to be consumed:

and, in case this wasn't enough room, J remembered that there would be fireworks, just up the road, as apart of our local Seafood Festival.......we wound up with front row seats, baby!





and from our front row seats, we were also able to view the lightning show that was obviously going on in Savannah.  Very cool to see that in the background of the fireworks!  I'd say, our night went out with a bang!

sweet memories of fall harvest season in WI and my two little punkins, and our sweet buddy ;)
