A little fall fun

Fall fun has been a little more subdued this year due to Covid-19 concerns.  But we did manage to squeeze in a little bit of fun, even if it was a little delayed!  

Yesterday, we were finally able to make it to Gaver Tree Farm for the very last day of their annual fall festival.  I am so glad that Lily (even when given a choice to bring a friend) humored her mama and went and spent time with me!  We had a good time eating apple cider donuts,  feeding and playing with the various farm animals, and playing a few games such as milk can toss and corn hold.   Plus we got a few great pictures!  

Lily is such a gem.  She's getting so much older and I can feel these days are fleeting, before I know it she will be so busy and not have a lot of time for Mama! In one sense I feel like Covid has given me a little more time with her before she "launches" and for that I am thankful.

This week she even attended a virtual open house to explore career options at the Career and Technology Center in Frederick.  She's thinking about studying Criminal Justice and Homeland Security.  Again, so grown up, this mama can't stand it!

For Halloween, she humored me as well and went trick-or-treating with Nanna's family (Garrett and Michael).  I wasn't sure if she would go, but she did!  She threw together a makeshift teenager costume of a werewolf.  Regardless of what she dressed up, she still looked stunning!

The end of the 1st marking period of high school is coming to an end and she has done an amazing job!  I believe she is going to make the honor roll!  So proud of her.
