One of the ways in which we in southern California become aware of the approach of autumn is through the appearance on the calendar of pumpkin-related activities. (What, you think we see leaves change color or something? Palm trees are green year-round, my friends.) Last weekend we attended the Kidspace Pumpkin Festival near the museum grounds by the Rose Bowl.
Kidspace is a children's museum, and the pumpkin festival is an annual event for children. We went last year, but this time Tessie was big enough to enjoy more of the activities. I think she even managed to find the stage act, a clown trio singing inane songs, to be condescending. She did enjoy the pumpkin patch:
She also enjoyed the bounce houses, and she's seen here atop the slide with an unknown acquaintance:
But the highlight of her day was her first-ever pony ride:
She was simply beaming atop her mount as they circled under the tent. Look at that posture, by the way. It seems we have an equestrienne in the making. This can't be good.
