HW Halloween Weekend and the apple festival

 Back in March we planned a trip to Disney for Ella's fall break (last week) since this could be the only time Ella gets a full week for fall break, and October is supposed to be a great time to go to Disney. I never in a million years thought there would be a hurricane warning for Orlando a couple days before we were supposed to leave. I was glued to the weather channel for days trying to figure out what we were going to do. Friday morning (the day before we were supposed to leave) Ella woke up with a horrible virus. We knew what we needed to do so I got on the phone and rescheduled our trip. Although it was a bummer, it ended up being a blessing that we rescheduled. Ella was sick for days and exhausted. She would have never made it through the trip. 
Since we were at home we did a few fun things like Holiday World, the pumpkin patch, and the apple festival in Owensboro. It was kind of a rough week. Ella was having stomach aches off and on and in a horrible mood. She wasn't the only one.;) 
Against our better judgement we went to Holiday World. Ella was feeling a tad better but was still very tired. She was determined to go so we went, but we had to leave after a few hours. 
This was the first time Paige was big enough to ride the little rides. She did ok on the fishy ride. I don't think she had quite figured out what was going on yet. 

She gave Kitty Claws a five but was terrified of Holidog. 

And was totally not fond of the canoes which is probably the slowest ride at Holiday World;) 

Ella and Adam rode the swings and played a ton of games which is Ella's favorite thing. She was not in the mood for pictures so this is all I have of her. Poor girl!

Paige played a game and won her first stuffed animal. I hope she doesn't like stuffed animals as much as her sister does. 

Our last picture at Holiday World of the season. We only made it a few times this year which is not much for us but hopefully we will get back to it in a couple of years when it's easier for me to take Ella and Paige by myself. 

This past Saturday my mom graciously volunteered to go to the apple festival with us. Ella was feeling much better and pretty much back to her cheerful self. She made me get on all the spinning rides with her, which made me feel sick. I am getting way too old for spinning rides, but she loves them. We also played games and went to the petting zoo. It ended up being a hot day, but we had fun!
