Sunday Fun Day

We actually made it to early church today. It helped that both girls woke up a little early, so we had plenty of time to get ready and get out the door. We couldn't resist taking a couple of photos of them in their matching dresses.

After church and a quick change of clothes, it was off to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day...a little on the cool side and a bit windy, but not freezing or snowing! The girls had the most fun walking through the pumpkin patch. They kept trying to pick up the "punkins," and when they wouldn't budge, they would exclaim, "Too heavy!" It didn't keep them from trying pumpkin after pumpkin, even throwing in a few grunts to show us they were trying really hard to make the lift.




Maddie spent about five minutes being crabby because we took her away from the pony to walk through the corn maze. Here she is pouting.

Thankfully, she recovered quickly after we had a bite to eat and let the girls play on the wooden train. Here is Ibby in the dining car.

We even went on a hayride. We are quite sure this was Maddie's first time in a hay wagon being pulled by a good ol' John Deere tractor.

On the way out, the girls had an opportunity to "drive" a tractor themselves. You probably don't recall, but this is when Isabel had a meltdown last year.

And last but not least, we stopped by the apple growth chart to see how the girls measure up. Isabel was so little last year when we had her pose in front of it, and now we have two big girls, growing taller almost by the minute it seems.

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to pick any apples. Next year, we figure we'll make a whole day of it. All that fresh air and activity definitely made for good naps when we got home!
