Here are some pictures of Lizzy at County Line Orchard on Saturday afternoon. As usual, she loved the animals, and her teething process has slowed down, so we all had a better time than last week. My favorite part of the trip involved Lizzy and the rake. At the orchard they have a small area for children her age. Lizzy sat there for awhile raking the hay back and forth. Two children (older) tried to take the rake from Lizzy. The first time, like all mothers, I stepped in and told the child that Lizzy was playing with. The second time I realized that my help was not necessary. Lizzy saw the girl, put a firmer grip on the rake, and stared at her with her furrowed brow. The two girls had a "Wild West" style stare down, and Elizabeth won. It was then that Matt and I realized that we probably don't need to worry about Lizzy taking care of herself in the world. We thought her strong opinions were just with us, but our Elizabeth seems to know what she deserves:respect.

Bo and I were looking at blogs tonight and he said, Hey! I recognize him (Matt) from Jenn's party. He looks much younger in his pictures :)
