Seiple Farm

Over the weekend, Makayla, my friend Liz and her son Anthony, Joe and I went to Seiple Farm's pumpkin patch. The more exposure Makayla gets to the fall, the more fun she seems to have. Here are the pictures from that outing...



 

 

 Doesn't she look excited to be on a hay ride. With actual hay...she loved it! She kept "cleaning" up by pushing the loose hay through the cracks on the wagon.

When we got to the patch, you pick up a plastic bag to put the pumpkin in. She loved carrying the pumpkin...

 Liz and Anthony looking for "Spookly" I believe that is it's name

 Makayla trying to find the perfect pumpkin

 Joe found his pumpkin and put it in his bag...

 Makayla wanted to carry the pumpkin

 It didn't go very far

 "Me carry"

 She had enough, looking for her own pumpkin

Hmm, what about this one...

 She sees the wagon ride coming again

Her and Anthony are picking out the perfect acorn squash...I think

I am hoping to be able to catch her in some leaf jumpin escapades...
Happy Wednesday!!

Apple Blossom Village

So, on Columbus Day, I wanted to do something fun with M, Shae, my dad and Joe. I googled "pumpkin patches lehigh valley" and I got a ton of results. I ended up suggesting Apple Blossom Village because when looking through the information online, it was more than a pumpkin patch. I had never heard of it, so obviously I was never there before. I was excited to see what it was really like. I honestly was a little nervous about it, but I am so glad we went. It really was so much more than just a pumpkin patch! There was a petting zoo...

There was even a train ride...

 

 

I think everyone loved the train!

 Choo! Choo!

 





 While we were waiting to go to the pumpkin patch, PopPop bought the girls a turn to ride Blossom the pony.

Her first pony ride! She LOVED.IT!

So, now it was time to go to the pumpkin patch. We climbed in the wagon...

 

 Enjoyed the scenery...

And arrived at the "Patch"

 Even Joe and I stopped to get a photo taken...

All in all I think it was a success. It was way more than just a pumpkin patch, it wasn't too far away, and maybe as the leaves keep changing, we will go just up to look at the scenery.

 

Sneak Peek

 

As you know on Monday, we all headed out to a Pumpkin Patch. I will be posting pictures, but in the meantime, here are some pictures from the ball pit that I found out later we illegally entered.

I don't care if we entered it illegally, Makayla loved it! Guess we need to go to Chuck E. Cheez.
Happy Weekend eve!

It's Fall

Yesterday my sister R, her daughter and husband were going to Strawberry Acres to pick apples. I had never been there before, so I asked my friend Liz and her son Anthony if they wanted to join us. I don't know about you, but I don't ever remember going to a pumpkin patch, let alone one where they had animals to feed and pet and then apples to pick. I was a little disappointed by the pumpkin "patch"...

Is it just me or does it look more like a plot of land that they just put pumpkins on? I don't know, maybe this is how it has always been, I really don't remember if I ever went to a pumpkin patch before this. That aside, some of the random placements of pumpkins allowed for great pictures...

even a grasshopper paused for a photo...

Remember when I said there were animals to feed...both Shae and Anthony got to feed the goats...

These goats were tricky. If you didn't hold onto the little plastic cups tight enough, they stole the plastic cups. However there was a goat that Shae called polite because it didn't take her plastic cup. I think it liked the taste of pumpkin better...

It is this cute little farm (which is for sale) and is absolutely lovely. I didn't get to take any pictures of apple picking...I had to pick apples and carry them, so I didn't have a free hand to take pictures. I did, however manage to get to take some pictures of the decorations...
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I even managed to find a baby gourd...maybe it will be ready for next fall...

So, what did you do this weekend?
