Say it Ain't So

I heard that Owens Farm is closing down after this month, so today we just had to go see it.  The big kids are out of school for fall break, so this was their last chance to get to enjoy it.  And it doesn't hurt that it's so close to home.  This mama just doesn't have the energy for the Arboretum right now!

Hard to believe that we first started going here when Lila was only 6 months old.  She was so precious in her black rhinestone studded onesie and orange tutu that we borrowed from a friend.  She's still a budding fashionista and loves rocking her big girl tutu.

Gigi came with us today and enjoyed herself more than she expected to, I think! The weather was perfect and the kids weren't crazy--a nice combo indeed.  Maybe we're finally making progress!

Jackson and Maddie both fed the goats...

while Lila just preferred to hang out with this cute little white one. 

After the goats were good and full, we hopped on the hay bales for a hay ride.  We saw lots of ducks and geese, along with about 6 miniature horses, too.  Oh yeah, and we found Farmer Bill, who was stuck in a hay bale!

After our picnic lunch, the kids found two huge pot-belly pigs.  Pretty stinky animals, if you ask me, so we went over to say hi to the horses.

Sweet friends--too cute for words.

And for nostalgia's sake, a few pictures in the pumpkin patch.  Madison Reese...

Jackson Warren...

and Lila Grace. 
Happy Fall, Y'all!
