It is 35 Degrees This Morning...

Brrrr.

How did that happen?  (At least it doesn't stay that way all day...yet.)

It seems like the leaves on our trees just turned green, and now they are yellow and falling.






Don't get me wrong, I love fall, but 35 degrees is pretty wintery.  Hopefully the snow will hold out for a little while.  Thank goodness, (well, according to the weatherman), it looks like it will be nice on Halloween.  Last year it was raining...not the most pleasant trick-or-treating experience.

On the other hand, the sunsets this time of year are beautiful.


This weekend we're going down to a Fall Festival at Wheeler Historic Farm.  We went last summer and really enjoyed it.

I wonder if all the ducks and geese will still be there.  (Ack, look how little he was!!!)




I wonder if this guy made it through last Thanksgiving, haha.


Moo!


Jason's favorite: the barns.


Plenty of stuff to climb on.


Brennan has already requested another "ride" on the tractor.


The backdrop for the farm.


Piggies. I'm sure they are much bigger this year.


There are also goats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, walking trails, picnic areas, and plenty of other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

The festival will have music, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, arts and crafts, and of course will be surrounded by fall leaves...LOVE.

I can't wait!  And since it is my birthday weekend, it will be even better. : )

Fun On The Farm

Over the weekend we went to the American West Heritage Center for their Farmtastic Farm Festival.  The weather was perfect and we had a good time.


First on the agenda was a ride on the train.  Brennan wouldn't have it any other way.


"Choo Choo Whoo Whoo!"  (We heard this all the way around the track.  He wasn't excited about the train or anything.)


Awww, a new friend.


More baby goats.


A little pouty. 


An old "cool car."


A photo with the scarecrow family.


Feeding the chickens some corn.


I hung out with these horses while the boys went to see the pigs.


Driving.  He's in heaven.


One with Mommy.


Checking out the equipment.  Brennan couldn't get over that this car didn't have a "map" (GPS), or seat belts.  He was concerned about that the whole time.


They had a really cool corn maze.  Brennan decided to start a corn collection.


Pointing out a horse foot print.


Following our fearless leader.


Has anyone seen that episode of "The Middles," where Brick gets lost in the corn maze.  Yeah, that kept going through my head, especially when Brennan wanted to keep darting in the rows to pick up more corn.


We were way in the mix at the point.  I was wondering if they've ever had to send in a search party for corn maze participants, and glad that no one had to pee.


Jason decided he needed to take pictures for awhile.


We had sustenance (kettle corn) along with us since we didn't know how long we were going to be in there.  Brennan loves that stuff.  (Oh, and I did consider dropping it on the ground Hansel and Gretel style.)


We made it through!  This was Brennan's collection by the end of it.  We brought it all home to feed the birds.


Gold at the end of the rainbow.  Nope, just some pumpkins. : )


Brennan wanted to add this one to his collection.


Another ride on the train, and a failed attempt at a family portrait.


Jason wants this barn.


And another horse that decided to pose for me on the way out.

Like I said, a great fun fall day.
