Happy Day Farm

We went to Happy Day Farm on Sunday. We started at the pumpkin patch. 

The kids looked everywhere for the perfect pumpkin! Gillian loved all the little pumpkins. 

Finally we found a big pumpkin for the family, a little one for Gillian and one for John too!  

Then Aunt Missy, Uncle T and Mackenzie arrived and we checked out the rest of the farm. There was all kinds of fun stuff to do!

Hang out on a big rocking chair. 

Climb a tire mountain. 

Play in a giant box of corn!

Climb on a giant spider web. 

Test our strength!

Race rubber duckies. 

Try to rope a cow!

Ride some bouncy horses. 

John ran through a little corn maze (like 12 times). 

Do some bouncing. 

And go for a hayride. 

We got on the hayride and Gillian said "Where's the hay?" Hay or no hay, Mackenzie loved the hayride. We took the hayride over to the petting zoo. The kids got to see pigs, horses, llamas and chickens. Mackenzie loved the chickens. But John got to hold one!

It was a fabulous day at the farm!

Babysitting

Today we got to babysit the kid's new cousin (our new niece), Mackenzie! We have been talking about this all week, so first thing this morning Gillian asked "Is it baby Kenzie day?" I told her yes! And she jumped up and down and said "YES!!!" 

Mackenzie arrived and John had to hold her right away. 

 

He only needs like ten seconds and then he is done. Gillian didn't want to hold her, but did want to lecture us. "Mommy, her doesn't eat food. Just milk. No food." When Daddy was holding Mackenzie, Gillian reminded him, "Don't shake the baby!" When I got to snuggle the baby, Gillian insisted on sitting right next to me. Practically on my lap. But she was being very sweet and loving to Kenzie. While we were snuggling, Gillian asked "Is she sleepovering?" (That's not a typo, that's how she said it). I said not today, but maybe one day. 

Kenzie is a good baby and we had no problems. All of us really enjoyed all our time with our baby cousin/baby niece.
