Farm Fest 2013

Last weekend, we spent our Sunday at farm fest. Several local farms open their doors to the community. We only had time to make it to two different farms, but the kiddos had a good time...especially Elliott our animal lover...maybe future farmer.

Lady Laide's first piggy-tails!!!

Applecider donuts...yummy!

Elliott could have watched these chickens all day.

or the pigs, or the sheep or the cows, etc...how long before he is asking for a pet of his own??? Hopefully he asks Adam, because I will not be able to say no ;-)

New York Fall=Apple Picking!!!

Every year since I was pregnant with Isaac we have gone apple picking at the same local farm. Five years and three babies later I still get a warm, fuzzy feeling we we go there. There is a rusty old tractor outside of the country store that I always photograph the kids on. Do you think they will humor me and sit on the tractor for pictures when they are eighteen??? It was a beautiful, warm and sunny day. We left with three bags of apples and lot of plans for pies, crisps, sauces, etc!!!So Yummy!!!


Now that Elliott is getting older, he wants a turn to "drive" too!

Adelaide's first apple picking adventure.

I am not sure how many apples Elliott actually picked, but I do know he left about ten half eaten apple behind.

Elyse's first trip apple picking since moving back north.

At the ripe old age of four, Isaac is an apple picking expert.

Reading, Writing, and Arthmatic...

...and everything that goes along with Preschool. After an amazing and busy summer, Isaac started his second year of preschool last week. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place to nurture my sweet Isaac's quest for knowledge. Living right down the street from the school has also really been a great way to get involved in our "new" neighborhood.
