This was the Wright family reunion, Brian's mom side of the fam. Folks came from far and wide and there was great food and fun had by all. Amelia got to visit with her many cousins. She especially loved Anna, a cousin she's met once. She's 8 months older and super sweet. Here is Liz (Brian's mom), the redhead in the back, with her 3 sisters on the paddle boat.
We went to the fair on a nice Sunday morning....perfect time to beat the crowds. Just as we expected.... Amelia totally loved it. She rode some kiddie rides that freaked me out way more than her.
We visited the bunnies, goats, llamas, chickens and pigs, which she seemed to love the most even though they were all sleeping and enormous. and I'm sure some more animals that I forgot. She loves her stuffed animals ALOT, so these real ones were a real treat. We joke that Amelia has an entourage because she's always got at least two stuffed animals with her, at dinner, teeth brushing..everywhere. She lines them up and tries to boss them around, or get them to eat or kiss and hug each other or ride on one another...yes that is a favorite command. It's really cute, she even tries to tell them to say stuff.

Here we are at the St. Joe River, it's so quiet and secluded, you just know that there must be a serial killer lurking somewhere....or a bear. And so since me and Brian are wussies, we didn't stick around for too long. But seriously it is crazy beautiful, it seems pictures never do such things justice though! Take a look at Amelia's hair (car ride hair)! That's Weezy our dog ( her real name is Willa), but we almost never call her Willa unless she's in trouble.
Amelia and Olivia, our neighbor. She's about a month and a few days older than Amelia. Painting in the back yard.
Concentrate...concentrate
And here we are today, at the pumpkin patch in Green Bluff, Wa., about 30 min. from Coeur d' Alene. So much fun! It almost makes you want to become a farmer...almost:) It was overcast and rainy driving over there, but when we got there it stopped..YAY! First we went and picked our two pumpkins, a baby and a mommy pumpkin. Brian didn't want one, as he knows he would have to carve it and he's not so good at that. The poor thing is just not secure enough with himself to fail at something...bless his fragile heart. Then we watched the "punkin chunkin", blasting a pumpkin from a cannon. We saw Shetland ponys, goats, chickens, and donkeys. So cool. Lastly we strolled through the straw maze. Fun day....
