Down on the Farm

Since I have been back at work, I feel that I haven't been spending as much time with my kids, in fact, I am not! Over the summer we did all kinds of fun things and now working full-time again, there is just not time. Sure I see my kids for a few hours each night but by the time you figure in dinner and baths, it's almost bedtime! So today, we decided to get out of the house and head over to Blackberry Farms again! Grandpa wanted to go too! It was a great fall day and the kids got to wear some of their new fall clothes, although Presley pooped through his right before we left and we had to break out the sweatshirts too, but at least it wasn't scroching. I was worried it would be crowded being a Saturday and all, but it wasn't!

When we got there, they were starting to set up their Halloween decorations. Starting next weekend, they are having all kinds of fun Halloween activities. We stopped for a few pictures though.

We also stopped to see the old schoolhouse. We asked Gracie if it was like her school. Her reply was "No. It is not like MY school."


And after you pay the cheap admission, you get to ride the merry-go-round as many times as you want! So we did! On the zebra horse of course!

And today was really special. They only do pony rides on the weekend. And since it wasn't crowded, there was no line! So here is Gracie riding her very first real pony. His name was "Ricky." She loved it!

And then we rode the choo-choo train a couple of times too. This time even the little ones were able to have fun!

And what kind of trip to the farm would it be without a tractor ride?

After a quick bite to eat, it was time to visit the barn. They don't have real cows but they have this fake one that you can "milk." We gave it a try.

But we did see some real animals too. Gracie got to pet some goats.

Grandpa had a great time.

And Gracie had a great time riding a pink tractor.

Thanks for going with us Grandpa. We had fun! Hope you did too!
