L'Shana Tova 5722!

This is a little out of order, since some blog fans were so eager for our Halloween photos, but here are some shots of our annual Rosh Hashanah apple-picking trip. Yum!

Before we get to the harvest, though, I need to alert Daddy to something just above his head.

Daddy, look up there!

It's a goat in the sky!

There were also some on the ground.

And some friendly cows...

...pigs...

...geese...

They like hay, right?

This one really likes Zula!

Hey, don't bother my sister!

This farm doesn't just have animals -- I saw a witch there, too!

Okay, down to business, let's pick some apples.

It's okay to eat some while you're picking.

In fact, you guys can just bring them to right over here and I'll take care of them.

Daddy seems to think they're for something other than eating.

He seems very pleased with himself. 

It's nice to have a chauffeur.

Ah, the contemplative life.

Hey, wait, where did everybody go?

Oh, I see, Zula found the hay bales.

And you know what hay bales are for!

Finally, time to go on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Notice I'm still eating apples.

Daddy found a good one!

Have a sweet year, everybody. Don't forget to save some apples to dip in honey!

Happy Halloween, 2011!

Halloween started off with a bang this year -- a parade at my preschool!

It was fun to see all my classmates and teachers in costume.

Later that night, I met up with my squire and a black cat.

We passed some spooky pumpkins on the way out (designed by the knight and cat).

My squire protected me as I bravely waded into the fray of trick-or-treaters.

Including this jester and that cat again!

Then I saw my friend the bumblebee, enjoying her first true Halloween!

She had a giant bumblebee to escort her.

After trick-or-treating, we met back on the porch with the usual crew.

Happy Halloween, everybody!
