An Enchanting Day

Thanks for the kind comments about Jia's costume on the prior post.

She got to wear it when we attended a Halloween event at our local nature center. We walked along a trail and did various tasks along the way to acquire treats. Among other things, we shook hands with a lively tree, searched for treasure, mixed a magic potion, fed a unicorn and charmed a lizard. She received some gold coins and when we were given cookies and cocoa at the end, she tried to pay with a coin! She's such a tuned-in and thoughtful little kid.

Each time she was given a treat she put it in her little poodle bag. We had a slow journey because she had to check on her treats every few steps! I don't think she's ever carried around such a bounty of yumminess and it pleased her greatly.

Over fifty animals were available for petting, and Jia was truly a pro at it. Brave and gentle and calm. She found it highly amusing that a baby goat gave her a kiss and that the sheep started to eat her skirt! She was one of the youngest kids there and we were proud of her.

Thanks again for mentioning this to us! Genevieve had a great time and we'll be going again next year for sure. And again, Jia's costume is just too cute!
