Honestly, I don't know if she enjoyed herself more or not. She was a bit hesitant to feed the animals (unlike last year), go on the moonbounce, and play in the tunnels (though she didn't play in those much last year). Plus, much of the time she walked around with her hands folded in front of her (which has taken the place of her sucking her thumb when she's overwhelmed or nervous). Despite her demeanor, she loved running in her "fast running shoes" and painting her pumpkin (as well as mine and Scott's).
We asked if she was having fun, and she did reply, "yes", but her actions suggested otherwise. Then again, she does take some time adjusting to new places and situations. After all, when I first took her to the Sprayground, she spent most of the time glued to me, but on subsequent visits, she freely played in the fountains. Maybe if we had been at OMR for a couple of hours, she would have felt more comfortable.
In spite of the lack of outward enthusiasm, the morning was well spent there. Besides, it got us out of the house on a beautiful fall day and allowed for some fun time together as a family, which was really the purpose of the outing.
Hunter enjoyed the sites and sounds. Not long after this, he was sound asleep.
Feeding the sheep with Daddy's help. Scott fed more animals than Leah did.
One of the highlights for Leah was the pig. I don't understand this obsession, but at least it made her happy.
Why decorate the pumpkin when you can color on the table?
