No Cows!

Fall is without a doubt my favorite time of the year.  I love the crisp weather, the clothes (boots, jeans, sweaters) and the fall traditions.  One of our must-do activities each year is visiting the apple orchard.  It was a little cool and I am so glad we grabbed hats for the kids on our way out the door!

Punky is saying "cheese".  We need to work on her smile!

The kids love the orchard because there are a lot of fun things to do there!  They have a play area with hay bales and slides, lots of things to climb on and a few animals to feed.  This year there were goats, turkeys and hens with baby chicks.  Buddy enjoyed seeing the animals but expect to see more, I think.  He kept asking for cows... 

There are also a lot of activities at the orchard that you need to pay extra for.  I guess we are cheap, but we skipped most of those activities.  Punky really wanted to jump on the giant bounce pillow, but we were able to distract her from that.  We probably won't be able to do that for much longer.  We had thought about letting the kids go on a pony ride, but at $4 each, it seemed like a lot of money.  Buddy was happy petting the "horsey".  We did buy two tickets for the cow train.  Punky was excited, but Buddy was not having it!  We finally put it together that he wanted a real cow and was not going to accept anything else!  We got our ticket back from the driver and Buddy watched Punky go around the field.

This is as far as Buddy got.  He would not sit down.

  
I really like this orchard because there are lots of areas set up for cute photos!  I had fun practicing with my camera and trying to get some cute shots of my kids.  I got a mix of good ones and bad ones.  At this point, my photography skills include a lot of luck!

Cute, except for the runny nose
