Bishops Pumpkin Farm

I hadn't been to Bishops Pumpkin Farm since I was little.  Wow.  That place is so cool now!  We had so much fun.  It isn't very far away either.  Next year I wanna try and go a couple times.  Vi got to ride a pony again and was in pure heaven.  Annabelle was pretty tired the whole time but did awesome.  She is such a good baby most of the time.

Pumpkin Pics...

This is what she does when we say smile.. opens her mouth really wide!

Face painting was a must.  She LOVED it.  She sat so still and was good.

Of course we had to Tinkerbelle. With glitter.

Train Ride Time!

Her favorite thing of all.. the pony rides.  I seriously wish you could just pay like $25 for a full half an hour or something. 

LOVE this picture

The petting zoo was another favorite.  Sooo cool.  I'd say it was my favorite too.  I love animals.  So cute.  She even got to feed the goats.  And of course, she weasled her way behind a gate and into the goats actual barn where your not supposed to go.  And she wouldn't listen to me to come back.  Oye.

And a big 'ol round of hay jumping.

At the end Vi helped me eat a delicious slice of Apple pie and ice cream.  And I HAD to get a caramel apple to take home.  To share of course.  Vi and Justin picked out a couple pumpkins to paint or carve too.  Unfortunately they are still sitting on our front porch sans carvings or paint.  Hmmm.. maybe a Christmas pumpkin?

Apple Hill

We went to Apple Hill a few weeks ago for our annual trip.  Unfortunately it was the first day it was actually cold and rainy.  We were NOT prepared.  No jackets or coats and Vi had sandals on.  It was super freezing.  And raining on us.  It ended up being a short trip.  We didn't even eat lunch, pie, carmel apples or buy any apples to take home.  Boo.  

We rode the train first and then went over to High Hill to see the pond and walk around the tents.  Vi ate a few apples and I atleast got a cup of hot cider.  Violet's favorite part was the pony ride. It was her first time and she was BEYOND excited.  She had the biggest grin the whole time and started crying her eyes out when it was over.  

Well of course, miss spoiled, got another ride for free.  The lady running it felt bad and let her go again.  We had another big bout of crying after that as well.  She is obsessed with pony rides now.

Hopefully we will get another trip in before the year is over on a better weather day.. or atleast be bundled up this time.

Halloween 2012

We had a blast this year! Halloween was a great day! Vi and I spent the morning at Wacky Tacky with a mom's church group.  If you don't know what Wacky Tacky is, its a giant play area with tunnels and slides and ball pits for the kids to just go crazy in.  I think it looks like a giant hamster cage with all the tunnels and levels.  Super fun! Vi was in heaven.

Then we had a yummy lunch with my mom, the girls and my sis Jess at Boudins.  Which happens to be one of my favorites.

Then it was home to finish the costumes.  Of course I waited till the last minute to make their costumes.  This was my first year doing it and I'm so happy with how they turned out.

That evening  we went to Violet's friend Ellajane's birthday party.  At the party we took all the kids trick or treating.  It was hilarious to see a big group of tiny tots in their adorable costumes.  Annabelle was exhausted the whole night due to no nap so she got ride in the bjorn on daddy's front all night.

After the party we stopped by my parents for yet some more candy for Miss Vi.
