but she did okay!!!

and a head and shirt...




OH BOY THIS LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!

but alas...even maxx was ready to HIKE the football...



he was dressed in his PACKER garb..ready for the game...

papa snuck in a peek at the pregame show on the big screen at the fest...



the "girl" scarecrow (hmmmm guess who decided that!!!) was loaded into the stroller..




and we headed for the car...
