Zoo Atlanta and Berry Patch Farms

This weekend, Meme and Pa treated us to a visit. Admittedly, they missed a certain someone and coudn't wait until Thanksgiving to see her again! We lucked out with a beautiful (yet warm) October weekend. We took advantage of the weather and decided to take Avery on her first trip to the Atlanta Zoo. Our arrival into in-town Atlanta coincided with lunch time, so we stopped for lunch at Six Feet Under. Avery had to accessorize in order to eat her lunch, and once she did, she ate her french fries in style, too!

Our first stop at the zoo was the elephants. Avery was thrilled and treated us to her pha-phant impression. Here's an action shot.

Her favorite, by far, were the 'raffes and bra-bras. She was infatuated and didn't want to leave to see more animals. So, we hung out here for awhile and let her take it all in.

Avery really enjoyed the zoo, and impressed me with all the animals she spotted and recognized.

What a great day!

Our fun with Meme and Pa continued on Sunday with a trip to Berry Patch Farms to take a hay ride, see farm animals, and pick out a pumpkin.

Avery was not a fan of the hay ride.

Good thing she took right to pumpkin gathering.

Avery was perplexed to discover that she could only hold two pumpkins at a time.

Once she had her fill of the mini Avery-sized pumpkins, we hit the larger patch.

Surprisingly, these pumpkins were just perfect for riding!

After we checked out all the options, Avery and Pa picked out one to take home.

When we got home, we "decorated" Avery's pumpkin with some Elmo push-ins. A posed photo just wasn't in the cards, so this was the best I could do.

We certainly had a busy and fun weekend with Meme and Pa, and can't wait to see them again next month!
