This week we decided to take advantage of daddy's "Columbus Day" off and took the girls to a pumpkin farm. It was something we had been wanting to do with them for quite some time and every year it seems like our Octobers are so hot that it's just painful to be in the out in the sun.
So instead of taking them to one of the local farms, we decided to try out Freeman Farms up by north Prescott.
We had a really nice day...75 degrees out there, about 20 degrees cooler then Gilbert.
The girls loved playing with the pumpkins.=)
They also loved the carousel rides, which they went on at least 3 times. At first Maile was a little nervous to go on without one of us by her side but by the end of the day, she was asking to go by herself and really enjoying it.
The tractors were HUGE and so much fun for both girls..
Audrey's on top of the world!!
We also went on train rides and this guy stopped the train to rob us all...he soon found out we had no money and decided to treat the kids to some lollipops instead. No way, either of the girls were gonna say no to that.=)
Both of the girls got their face painted for the first time. Audrey went with a pink horsie while....
Maile went for a beautiful little dolphin. Neither one of them was thrilled to get their face cleaned before bed that night.
We went on a 15 min hay ride around the farm. Both girls brought their best buddies along for the ride ( Maile brought her Ariel bear while Audrey brought her pink dolly...which I carried most of the day).
The petting zoo was also a hit with the girls. This little goat was so friendly and sweet. She couldn't stop licking Maile's hand and she couldn't stop giggling the whole time she was there.
It was a great day for us as a family and Maile still talks about her wonderful "adventure" as she calls it. As a matter of fact, first thing she did when she got home, she pulled out a piece of paper and made a drawing of our fun day together.
I love family time!! I love my family with all my heart.
