Blackberry Farm!

Today was such a beautiful day so we headed to Blackberry Farm!

 

The kids were so excited.  They all needed maps to help us find our way around.

 

We visited the one-room schoolhouse.

 

The kids sat in the desks and listened to the teacher.

 

But from the windows of the school, we could see the ponies.  So we left school early and went to ride them.

 

Riding the ponies made us want to ride some boats. 

 

Riding the boats around the lake made us want to ride around the merry-go-round.

 

All that riding around made us want to go down slides.

 

Going down the slides made us want to play at this cool park.

 

All the running around on the park made us want to zoom down the zip line.

 

And we wanted to zoom some more.

 

The zooming made us want to climb bridges.

 

And cross rivers.

 

Being by the water made us cold so we needed to snuggle.

 

And put our arms around each other.

 

And make silly faces.

 

And snuggle some more.

 

After we snuggled, it was time to buy train tickets!

 

Then go on a hay ride.

 

On the hayride, we enjoyed the beauty of nature.

 

Being pulled on wagon, made us want to ride the ponies again.

 

And again.

 

Being on the ponies, made us want to check out the other animals.

 

Including the 6 week old piggies.

 

And our Thanksgiving turkey.

 

Seeing all the animals made us want to play farm so we drove our own tractors.

 

And all that fun made us tired so we headed home.  But it was great day!
