Harvest Fest

 The county put on a free Halloween event at one of our nearby parks, so Grace and I had to get in on that.

 We did a lot of pumpkin-gathering.

 I loaded and unloaded the trailer of this tractor many times.  Many times.  I mean, I could have done that all day.  I practically did do it all day.

 I really enjoyed some Mexican street corn when I took a break from pumpkin-gathering.  Delicious!

I also took a ride down the inflated slide.  Yee-hah!

 Grace checked herself out in a mirror after she got a shooting star painted on her face.

Then she went incognito to experience the haunted ships docked in the harbor.  Sorry, Grace, if I gave you away.

Legoland Adventures

 A couple of weeks ago, we headed down to Legoland to see what that place is all about.

Turns out, it's about all things Lego.  Grace posed for a photo with Wyldstyle.

 Then she hung out with a sculpture of one of her spiritual mentors.

 There were a lot of Star Wars Legos, obvs.

 Grace was thrilled to don some Lego armor.

I spent quite a bit of time building Lego ships to send down the river, racing other kids' creations.

 I made a couple of last-minute adjustments.

 I set my craft in place.

Then it was time to set it free.  I pushed the lever, and my ship set sail, where it promptly rolled over and got pummeled in the rapids.  Ship-building is harder than it looks.
