The Pumpkin Patch and Petting Farm




The pony ride was THE CUTEST thing I've seen in a long time. Maya took this whole thing so seriously. She watched for a while as the other kids went around the circle, and she was first in line. When it was her turn the lady asked her which pony she wanted and she pointed to the smallest one. Once she was sitting in the saddle, she paid close attention to how the lady was strapping her in and then fell in love with her little pony. She petted the pony, and then held tight while the pony started walking slowly in the circle.

Next we petted all the other animals including a tiny baby pig... Maya was very gentle and gave each animal lots of attention which telling all the other little kids to "Look, a duck!" To end the day we went to Fort Vanoy Farm to pick out a pumpkin and go for a hay ride. Poor daddy got stuck carrying pumpkins while Maya got her picture taken trying to find the best "baby pumpkin"...

Fall



The leaves have been changing, we FINALLY got some rain, and every morning starts with a warm fire. Fall is finally here. Maya has been bundled up in warm hoodies and trying to figure out her silly hello-kitty rain boots. We've been cooking soups and banana bread, and feeling homey. We've made several weekly trips to our local farm to pick flowers and veggies. Maya's favorite has been the flowers... They give her a basket and let her go to town on the sunflowers, needless to say our dome has been filled with flowers!
