On Sunday we went out to
Riley's farm for a hayride and pumpkin picking with the kids. It was an absolutely incredible day, we couldn't hope for better weather. Well, it would have helped if it had rained recently because it was so dusty up where the petting zoo, face painting and other kid friendly activities were held. Poor Oona and her cousin were lost in the haze. At one point Oona sneezed and it was all brown from the dust. But, still there were adults who felt dry as a bone dusty hay on the ground is the perfect place to smoke and put out your butts. I have a huge pet peeve about adults smoking in zoos, playgrounds and other kid friendly places. Back when I had a disposable income and used to ski I was dumbstruck by the people that would stop halfway down the slope for a cigarette break, it seemed like a physical oxymoron. But back to the farm, here are some pics from the big day.
Choosing a prize pumpking with Dad and Jon. Jon works with Toby and is, quite possibly, the nicest single guy with children that I have ever met, but not in a creepy giggling Barney the dinosaur way. He's so great with both Owen and Oona. He and his fiance are very lucky to have each other, and I guess Toby and I are lucky to have people who are without kids and in their early twenties that want to hang out with us.
Admittedly I'm biased, since I'm his mom...but doesn't Owen have beautiful eyes. If you click on the picture you can see them in all their insanely pretty glory.
Oona communes with the pig. At least she didn't try to pull his tail. All the animals were full so we had a hard time finding any sheep, goat or pig that would take some milk from the baby bottle I bought for Owen to feed the animals. Maybe we have to arrive earlier in the day when they haven't gorged yet.
It isn't a visit to the farm without posing in a cut out of The Addams Family.
