As in previous years, we went to Simmons Farm for the hayride and pumpkin picking (and other fun activities for the kids). Photos from previous years are here:
2011 and
2009.
This year, we started out with the petting zoo that had new fluffy baby bunnies and the cutest little black pig. No photos, I was too busy adoring the little animals and keeping the girls from chasing them too much.
Then Vivian immediately remembered the corn box from previous years (a memory like an elephant, unbelievable), so we made a stop there. Then it was time for the hay ride (and munching on the yummy apples they handed out), a pony ride, the annual tunnel photo, sack slide (Annelee threw a fit when I wanted to slide with her ... big girls like her do the sack slide alone!), hay maze, and of course the choosing of the pumpkins and corn. At that point, we were all dragging a bit, and took the ride back, had lunch there and then headed home. As expected, Annelee fell asleep within 4 minutes of being put into the car seat.
We'll definitely be back there again next year!

| Who allowed her to get big enough to almost reach the pedals in a fire truck?! |
 |
| At least she still has a while to go! |
