Party with a Sheep?
Juli went to a friends birthday party today and they had their sheep, Bob, with them. Bob is so funny and better behaved than any dog! Haha!

Apple Picking 2013
We had so much fun apple picking last year, we decided to do it again this year. Hopefully we will make it an annual tradition!
Our little pumpkin.
Riding out on the wagon to the picking area.
The girls immediately found a ladder to pick. They were ladder obsessed.
Look at me! I'm on ladder!
Livi's turn!
Daddy too! He could actually reach and pick them from the ladder though.
Juli found a cool tree with a low branch they could stand on.
Of course, Livi had to try it too!
Emmi tried her hardest to eat this apple. Without teeth, it wasn't haappening.

Cherry Crest Adventure Farm
Last week we took a ride out to Lancaster to visit Cherry Crest Adventure Farm. The weather was great and I knew they would have their fall stuff starting up.
The Strasburg Railroad runs right through the farm. We didn't get as chance to go for a ride, we ran out of time. Hopefully we will get a chance to go back and do that. It was really neat to see though.
The girls did get to go for a ride on a little tractor train though... not quite the same, but still fun.
Emmi loves being outside. If she's outside she's happy.
They had these neat pedal cart things. The girls went on them a few times. They were cute. They also had mini ones in the middle section there for little toddler size kids.
Of course we had to do the Amazing Maize Maze while we where there. We did the easy path, which was basically sticking to the perimeter. I was afraid to try another route when I saw that some families had spent 3+ hours in there. The record was like 6.5 hours. NO thank you!
Before we left, we had to head back to say goodbye to these animals. This llama was kind of crazy so no one really went near him. James must have felt bad for him and decided to feed him. Oh how I wish I had video. It was hysterical. The llama was trying to get the food out of the little machine with it's tongue before James could even get it out.
This was a perfect family fun day! We couldn't have asked for better weather and we had the best time!
Our little Corny Cobs checking their height to see which attractions they could go on.
We had a great time! I didn't remember them having animals in a petting zoo type of environment, but they do. They had adorable little goats. The baby ones were SO cute. I wanted to hide one in the basket of our stroller and bring it home! The babies or "kids" jump the fence to come out and play with the human kids. They really were so stinkin' cute!! The girls also got to hold baby chicks. They were super soft. Juli said their claws felt funny on her hand.

Pumpkin Time
On Sunday we went to Merrymead Farm for their Fall Harvest Festival. It was pretty hot, so it made doing all these fun fall activities strange!
Livi is the orange flower and Juli is in the yellow one to the right.
Grandma, Livi and Daddy checking things out. I think they were heading toward the peacocks. Check out the caterpillar thing in the top right corner. It was pretty big and made out of pumpkins.
After doing some inflatable bouncy things we headed back toward the maze and the tractor train rides. Juli earned the title of Chief Corn Inspector here.
Waiting for the tractor train to start.
Choo Choo! Is this not the cutest thing?
While Livi and I were waiting for James to get Juli settled on her train ride, we bumped into my friend Kim!! You can see a few pictures on her blog. Kim's daughter Lilly is the same age as Livi.
Please?
After we got home that night, James and Juli carved a pumpkin. They named him, Wilson. Poor Wilson has since had his head and part of his face eaten by squirrels.
Juli got a kick out of these "photo opportunities".
We went through a mini corn maze. The girls loved it. It was very low and catered to small children. I thought I might not be able to stand up straight again when we got out!

Juli was really excited by this cow tractor. It was in the barn and we couldn't go in, but she really wanted to check it out.

Juli used her tickets to get prizes.

After that, we headed over to pick up our pumpkins.
Please?
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!
