Pirate & Princess Night at CFA!

"ARGGHHHH, me Matey!"

They even handed out eye patches and gold treasure coins to the pirates!

And telescopes to spot enemies!

Time to inspect our swords before they're crossed with the Evil Captain!

"Avast, ye scurvy dog!"

Southern Belle Farm

It was the perfect day to pick out our Halloween pumpkins, so we headed down to McDonough to Southern Belle Farm and made a day of it!

Already found the pumpkin I want! Let me just pick it up...

Looking cute in my overalls while admiring my pumpkin:

Wait - let me check that one out:

Mama's snuggly handfuls:

Now we're off to find our own baby pumpkins:

I found mine!

And I found mine too!

Now for a few rides down the underground slide!

Wheeeeeee!!!!!

Now Daddy gets a turn!

Now it's time to say hello to the cow we've been talking about for the past 20 minutes:

Well, the cow definitely just snorted/sneezed on us:

I wanted to feed the baby cow, but someone else beat me to it:

On to the next thing!

One of our favorite things - climbing fences:

They even had little-kid front loaders in the sand pit!

They even had horse swings made out of tires! Yee-haaaawww!

Look at these cheeks!

Time to bounce:

And crawl through a tunnel about a thousand times:

"Nana-nana-boo-boo! You can't catch me!"

And yes, of course we talked Mama into it!

My legs aren't quite long enough...

And last but not least, a ride on the cow trailer:

And, in case you haven't noticed from previous pictures, this is how I smile now whenever I see a camera. Every. Single. Time - eyes shut ridiculously tight and a goofy grin. What a monkey!

More Fun with Lisa & Brian

Sadly for Big Brother, he had to go to school today. But happily for me, that meant that I got to have Brian & Lisa all to myself all day! One of my favorite places to go is the Aquarium, and they had never been, so off we went. After that, we decided that The Varsity is an Atlanta "must" for lunch. Lisa & Brian are such great sports that they got into it whole-heartedly and wore the Varsity hats and even engaged in a game of Walrus with me. Not familiar with what that is? See below...

Looking pensive (and darn handsome) while studying the fish:

Completely absorbed:

Good grief, this is way cool:

Pointing out the fish to our guests. Just in case they can't find them on their own:

"That one is my favorite!"

You probably can't tell from this shot, but my little hand is tight around Mama's neck. This is in her Top 10 Cooper-isms. So I try to do it often :)

Checking out some Grover while waiting on the presentation to start. That Grover really cracks me up!

These are the craziest crabs I have ever laid eyes on. I could not get enough!

I was not about going in the underwater tunnel, so Mama & Lisa went on without me. Dang, looks like fun...maybe next time!

I met them near the exit and popped up long enough to study on a penguin. I admit, that was pretty awesome:

All that fish-watching got my appetite up - let's have some Varsity!

Dig in!

And we're about to play some Walrus, if I can convince Lisa to join me:

Of course she will! One more reason I love her so much!
