We joined Rachel, Dillan and Kaitlin at the pumpkin patch for a nice afternoon. Lulu got to pet some farm animals, take a hay ride, go through a corn maze and choose a pumpkin to carve.

Here are a few more shots of Elloise enjoying some of the lovely parks in the bay area

and one of her checking out an exhibit at the Exploratorium.

We had a great time! Elloise did such a good job travelling!

Elloise and I joined Becky on a trip out to San Francisco to visit Jess.

Here you see Elloise enjoying the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf, getting her first view of the ocean, and spending the day exploring the Academy of Science at Golden Gate Park.

...has recently evolved into "Bill-a-POOH, Bill-a-POOH....mumble mumble mumble....O BEE!"

Elloise has been busy this fall showing her Minnesota pride!
