More Fall Fun

After warming up at two cider mills, we decided to spend the afternoon at an orchard, picking apples, playing in a bunch of straw, and feeding all sorts of farm animals.  Abbey had an absolute blast, and I was half convinced that I was going to have to drag her out of there kicking and screaming.  I rallied as long as possible, but with Dylan in the Ergo and the diaper bag slung across my body, filled with our picked apples and a giant pack of wipes to combat the stickiness of the day, my poor back could only handle so much!

by the way, picking apples with Abbey involved some illicit bites here and there

feeding a cow

llama? alpaca?  I'm not sure, but it was pretty cute

baby goats were a hit again

riding the "pony"

she actually switched ponies so that Dylan could ride one

I didn't even have to ask her to do it

(assisted by my friend - I like her to be adventurous, but it was pretty high!)

watching the band

she was pretty impressed that the horse and cow could sing, too

watching mechanized nursery rhymes

I couldn't decide if they were cute or a little weird

(just being honest!)

Mary had a little lamb

it looked like Mary was taking a nap instead of taking her lamb to school
