Orchard Time!

Yes, it's Country Basket time again!

They have a new little pen for the bunnies. Ren saw two of her friends from school when we were there.

Blogger is moronic. When I upload pictures they put it in whatever order they want to! Very annoying. This is a picture from the morning when Ren created this little train. It was awesome and she was very pleased.
She taped blocks to the bottom of the pencil container so that it would slide. Brilliant.

Someone had a pot-bellied pig named "Bob" at the orchard.

Yes, I went red. I was bored and now I'm not.

I love taking pictures of the girls running. They have such happiness and freedom in their movements.

What a great Papa.

Sometimes I see glimpses of the girls and I can see them as adult women and it is breathtaking how interesting and beautiful they are. I pray that they will embrace it fully, but not have it define them.

Riding the tractor.

This hand gesture was Willa explaining the doughnut goodness in her body.

About to go on the Cow Train.

That is a satisfying pinch of cinnamon sugar.

Now this is a separate orchard event.
Uncle Dawn (Paul's sister) and her husband Uncle Tom had a harvest party and sweetly invited us too!

We missed the first hay ride, but jumped onto the next one, but we only reached about 100 yards into our trip when the tractor stalled and we had to walk back. Bummer.

Luckily Uncle Tom likes to have toys to play with on his beautiful property and his latest is this Mule. It's practically a tank and was able to pull all of us for a wagon ride. The girls LOVED it and keep talking about it.

David was happy to help with the small tree that obstructed our trip.

About 50 yards into our next wagon trip and a small tree was in the way. No worries that a chainsaw can't fix in a jiffy.

I love Orchard weekends!
