Pioneer Days and MOPS Day Out

Today we went to Pioneer Orchard with my MOPS group and had such a great morning!  We went on a tractor ride through the orchard, pet the goats and rabbits, played in the sandbox, drank some yummy apple cider/ate a big red apple, picked out the perfect pumpkin, and watched Johnny Appleseed. Ansley and I had a blast!  Her favorite part by far would be the sandbox and the apple eating.  This girl ate 2! Other than little Nathan getting horned by a goat that had jumped the fence....yes, you heard me right....thank goodness it didn't do any major damage!  This little incident just scared all the kids and the mommies, especially Kendra and little Nathan!  But all was good and the fun continued!

"Mom, can I get in the sandbox?" 
As you can see, I gave in.  I'm glad I did...she loved it! 
She was obsessed with filling the dumptruck up with sand 
Here's our favorite pumpkin and Ansley digging into that delicious apple! 
Cider time...she was drinking it so nicely 
Roman loved it!
Johnny Appleseed and another apple....she just couldn't get enough.  She should do a commercial for Pioneer Orchard! 

A couple of weeks ago, we visited Pioneer Orchard during their "Harvest Days". We went with the Bandermann's and the Ewasko's and had a really great time.  The kids loved all the activities and all of us adults got to enjoy each other's company, which is always nice! :) 

This was an attempt to get Ansley and Brynn to smile at the camera.  As you can see...it was a FAIL.

Ansley's first apple, which turns out, she ate the entire apple....core and all! I know, we're good parents like that.

We actually got to hold Ansley's hand through the hay maze.  This is big news, usually she's too busy for us!
We got some pretty exciting news from the Ewasko's...they're having baby #2!  Woo hoo! 
It's so great to have the Orchard just minutes away from our house, so we can enjoy these beautiful days of fall!

That picture of Roman cracks me up. He was a sticky little mess by the time we made it home!
