We had a great time kicking off fall with the Coney Island Hallo-Fest. We walked through Coney trick-or-treating, on a hay ride, petting zoo and Mike even took his turn at the pumpkin sling-shot (just a few times).
This weekend we were invited to Brayden's friend Emilie's 1st birthday party. Emilie's mom and dad also invited some ponies to the party for all the little kids to ride. Brayden took a little while to warm up to them but after I showed him that they were gentle and fun he felt more at ease. 
In addition to the ponies the little children also enjoyed riding down the hill in a small radio flyer walker...
We had a wonderful time at the Octoberfest in Main Strausse Village. Brayden enjoyed watching the german dancing and bands playing. Michael also took him on the big slide ride for the first time.
Here are a few pictures of us having fun at the Cincinnati Zoo feeding the giraffe's during snack time. We offered to have Brayden help us but he thought the crackers were for him. By the way those giraffe's were very hungry...they quickly took the crackers we offered.
