Okay, so I am horrible at updating with pictures, but today I''m happy to have pictures to go with my post!

We had a very busy day today! While I woke up early to go to a re-sale event for Avon Lake PTA (otherwise known around here as "Christmas Shopping"), you and your sister got ready for our day. Daddy helped you take a bath, eat breakfast, get dressed, clean the kitchen, and then proceed to chalk outside and completely ruin your outfit! No worries, though! I returned in time to change your clothes, do your hair (Daddy is still struggling a bit with that one!), and feed you a quick sandwich before Aunt Doodie arrived with Cayden and Mya! Then, we set off for our adventure at a local pumpkin farm. We had a blast!! We did a hay maze - Cayden found his way out first!, you all rode tractor trikes through a corn maze, played on a huge swingset, went for a VERY long hay ride, and rode a barrel train! You got your faces painted and touched some sweet baby sheep! After our two hours there, Cayden could hardly keep his eyes open and both of you girls were starving and ready for a nap!

After our nap, we loaded back into the car (you, Sarah and I) to go to Rex Gee's Orchards to pick apples! You guys had a blast! We picked a ton of red and golden delicious apples. You became pros on how to find the best ones on the trees :)

Our day didn't end there... we traveled to Apple Hill to check out their Pumpkin Land! We saw more live animals, some cool pumpkins and even some scarecrows!




Lastly, we headed to a little farm nearby where you can buy pumpkins on the honor system. I've always loved getting our pumpkins here because it is a family home and farm, and I just love the old fashioned feeling you get knowing that they just trust people to be honest. We picked about six pumpkins and headed home. After such a busy day, you were pooped! Dinner and bed and fun all over again tomorrow!
