Another Weekend - October 21st & 22nd

David and I went back to the tractor show (AGSEM Fall Festival) again this weekend, but this time Kyleigh had other plans.  It was a much quieter weekend and even rained a little.  The only pictures I took were of some of the more unusual tractors in the parade.

While we were attending the tractor show, Kyleigh was having fun at the Fall Festival put on by our church and school.  Her costume this year is Cat Woman.  These pictures were taken at the Fall Festival.  Belle was there promoting The Beauty and the Beast play which was being put on at Lutheran High and which Kyleigh saw the day before.

Her father has a new girlfriend who is a horse trainer so Kyleigh got to ride a horse for the first time.  The horse's name is Karma.

When we got home on Monday, it was sprinkling and David spotted a double rainbow from our front yard.  We don't see too many of these in southern California.

Tractor Show Weekend #1 - Sunday

Kyleigh spent Saturday night with us in the motorhome so we had more fun on Sunday.  We looked at some of the exhibits.  Kyleigh was very impressed with a motor that runs on hot air and got to spin yarn using a drop spindle.  She also wound several different colors of yarn into one ball, but I didn't get a picture of that.

She then went to the train station and asked to help the engineer; he let her punch tickets and open and close doors.  When it came time to actually ride the train, he let her ride in the cab and blow the whistle.  On her second trip, he even let her drive.

 

 

She also got to ride in the tractor parade again.  This time she went through twice.  The first time she rode in the cook shack and chased a chicken robber and took back the chicken, but I wasn't fast enough to get a picture.  The second time she rode on a big tractor with a crane on the back.  There is a witch at the end of the crane.

 

Tractor Show Weekend #1 - Saturday

This past weekend was the Tractor Show (Fall Festival Weekend) at the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista, CA.  David and I went down for the weekend, but Janice, Devin and Kyleigh came down early Saturday morning and Janice and Devin left after the parade.  Kyleigh spent Saturday night with us as she really enjoys all the activities for kids.

First, she rode the train where she met two new friends.  Then she played on the playground with them; her favorite was the merry-go-round.  She also participated in the Potato Picking "race" where she picked 6 of 7 potatoes.  She went through a second time with her friend picking and tried very hard to help her get one potato.

Kyleigh also got to ride in the tractor parade on the back of a friend's tractor.  Riding in the parade is a highlight of the weekend for her.

 Finally, after the show was over, we were relaxing at the RV when our neighbor decided that Kyleigh should learn to drive his cart.  He said she did really well and even took her out of the campground itself.  Later, his wife took her out, too.
