Apple Hill 2008

Last weekend we were quite busy with Halloween activities. For years we have been going up to Apple Hill in October. I love to see the leaves changing colors and falling. The apples are fantastic and watching all the families with their children having so much fun makes the long drive well worth it. And, the apple crisp at Kids Inc. makes us come back every year!!!! Kelly and I decided to make it a whole weekend of Halloween activities because Thomas was going to be with Ryan on Halloween. So, we started the weekend making Halloween cupcakes. Thomas made is special friend, Sarah, her own personal cupcake for her birthday. It was very cute. Then that evening we watched a few Halloween videos. Then Saturday we went to Apple Hill. Thomas and I had a lot of fun getting lost in the corn maze. Noelle had her first pony ride. It took two tries to get her on the pony. The first time Kelly couldn't get Noelle to even sit on the pony so she let a few kids go before her. Then after seeing the other kids Noelle got right on and loved it. At the end of the ride Kelly could hardly get her off. We had a nice picnic at our normal stomping ground and watched the other kids fish. We went on a long hay ride per Thomas' request. He thought that was great. Then we went to another orchard and walked around to see the farm animals. They had lots of pigs, chickens, ducks, horses, and a donkey. Thomas really enjoyed the donkey until it sneezed on him. He did not find that funny at all!!! Then at the next apple orchard we saw a clown doing a show. It was VERY funny and the kids really enjoyed it. Until, the clown tried to use is dog as a cannon ball and well the trick didn't work so well. The clown picked a man from the audience to help. He had a huge net and was suppose to catch the "fake" dog in it, run to the clown so he could put the real dog in the net. Well the man didn't catch the "fake" dog and instead ran to the clown with the "fake" one still laying on the ground. It was a bust!! It was pretty funny though. Then on Sunday we went to Grandpa's house and carved pumpkins. It was a perfect weekend.
