the weather has turned cooler – much cooler and I am loving it! I was also loving having bill home for a full weekend so we packed up the kids and went to northwoods orchard just north of rochester for some saturday morning fun.
first stop – bunnies. it was pretty cold so the girls were wearing puffer vests underneath their fleeces, which explains their thick middle look.
on to the next thing…
this girl (claire) always alerts me to any plane, car, animal noise she hears. she gives you a point and a quick “da!”.
eleanore just hanging out on a pumpkin.
goofinest.
our friends the jaegers were also at the orchard with their little girl lakin and precious newest addition bennett (5-8 days old!). here ellie and lakin are eyeing up the chickens.
in butts claire.
charlie was busy terrorizing the chickens with a stick. he has been REALLY into sticks and hitting/poking things lately.
peeking in.
top ten reasons I love fall – boots!
king of the castle – with a stick.
trying to get up to where charlie is.
you might be wondering what is so scary? ellie is crying…
claire is grabbing bill’s leg…
some crazy goats!
mmmm….cinnamon+sugar fresh donuts.
then charlie found the free kittens. I don’t know what has changed about me, but I am just not that thrilled about cats anymore. I grew up with them, but I think with my allergies getting more sensitive to them (my eyes itch like CRAZY) and the idea of having to deal with a litter box makes me steer very clear of them.
charlie was in heaven! it was hysterical – if bill put the kitten by ellie she would instantly push it away where claire was really interested in the kitten and wanted to hold it. funny how different those two can be sometimes.
then we headed out under the willow tree to wait for the tractor ride. at first ellie decided she wanted to pull the jaegar’s wagon. she couldn’t make it go.
then claire wanted to try.
reason number 4 twins are fun. teamwork! in jumps ellie.
I pray these two are the best of friends and work together all their lives! you will see ellie pushed so hard claire fell over. so the teamwork was done. sweet while it lasted.
on the tractor and ready to rock.
kids were getting a little tired, but we powered through.
claire – almost asleep.
then back to party time.
“da!” she spotted something!
wish the exposure hadn’t gotten messed up – I love claire’s look here.
the tractor stopped by a gourd patch and the kids got to get out and pick one. ellie found hers.
so did prabee.
ready to get home. all were getting tired and cold.
a great fall outing. my friend sara took some family pics so I will get those on here whenever I get them.
