Leaf me alone.

I love the fall.  Well, technically we’re in the midst of winter now, but fall tends to last a bit longer down in these parts.  Actually, fall doesn’t even really happen until winter here.  Our weather is a little Sybil-esque.

We took a trip to visit Santa at Bass Pro Shop, but after realizing that the line spanned the entire store, we opted out.  I may just find a cute picture of a kid on Santa’s lap and PhotoShop Anna’s head onto her body.  This would be a lot easier than waiting in a long line with a fussy toddler.  Her body rejects Bass Pro Shop just like mine.  10 minutes after we get there, she goes into core meltdown status and is ready to hit the exit.  Like mother like daughter.

After our fun trip to Bass Pro, we headed over to Joe’s grandmother’s house.  She has a fair amount of wooded property with lots of leaf losing trees, so it made for some great photo ops with Anna.  I was able to redeem myself from my Santa FAIL status.

 

Anna is the leaf whisperer.

Maybe one day I’ll actually get a photo of Anna where she’s not all EMO looking.  This child refuses to smile for pictures!  I’m lucky I even got an actual shot where she was looking at the camera.
