Carly L-O-V-E-D it. She kept staring at the balloons and floats and people, waving constantly. It was a blast and will hopefully become a family tradition. 
Waving at something.
Frosty!
Santa!
She even spent some time swimming in the dirt.
Suddenly, the girls saw the sandbox. An innocent start . . .
Before too long, she was covered in sand. 
Those shoes are supposed to be pink, and the pants were brown.
Notice the sand all over her face?
Check out the beautiful skies. Its so serene out at the Mayer house. Well, until you had 8 adults and 7 kids. 
After the hayride, Carly drove the tractor with Grandpa!

We took Carly to the park. She loves the swings there and does not want to leave!!
Our neighborhood park also has a huge wooden play structure. Carly loves it, but its hard to keep up with her in it. It is not meant for adults to crawl in it... but when your 1 year old is running away, sometimes you have to follow. 
Some more swinging time at home. She still loves the swingset Daddy built for her. 
Colin (1), Sol (4), Nora (17 months), Carly (16 months)
We were there to celebrate Colin's big first birthday! 
Sol helped Auntie Erin open gifts,
Nora and Lisa watched,
and Carly tested out all the new toys. I accidentally cut off the question in the second video. I asked her "What does the duck say?"
Apparently ducks don't quack. They duck duck duck.
John's pumpkin handiwork. Good, huh? One trick-or-treaters dad thought they were ceramic pumpkins. 
Our little ladybug. 
We trick-or-treated with Caleb and his family. The cars were a perfect mode of transportation for the kids!
