Tobin's AutumnFest 2013

     We decided to make the most out of our day and headed out to another fall fest before the Steelers game started. Today's autumn fest was nice, but not as child friendly as Port Farms was yesterday. They had a bunch of local crafters and vendors set up with a few areas that were decorated and set up for the kids. Big Brother REALLY wanted to push Froggie in the umbrella stroller and despite images of him pushing her right into the pond or nearby ditches we let him. He did a great job and only needed help steering a few times. I think he was really proud of himself for pushing his baby sister. Hubby got to buy his apple cider and Big Brother picked out 2 more "little pumpkins" for he and Froggie.
     Big Brother then got to go get up close and personal with a horse! A local training camp for horses had brought four of their smaller horses out for children to ride. He said he wanted to ride but we weren't sure if he would be afraid once it was his turn. We were lucky enough to be able to let him meet the horse and have me walk alongside him while he rode. Hubby and my mom couldn't get any smiles out of him while he was in the saddle but as soon as we got off he said he wanted to get back on!
