Down on the Farm

 We spent the day at Gullion Farms for “Down on the Farm” 2011. Gullion Farms is located in Somerville, Alabama and opens it’s “doors” to the public each year on Saturdays during the month of October.

Of course Trudy liked playing with the gravel on the drive more than the corn pit, just like she likes playing with the box more than the toy.

There are enough activities, food, and fun to keep the kids entertained all day long…if you can convince them to get out of the corn jump. You think a ball pit is fun? Just wait. Heck,I didn’t want to get out. Thank goodness I had a toddler with me as an excuse to jump in there with the kids.

What is a farm without animals? Trudy enjoyed 
feeding
 watching Mommy feed the “baa-baas” (any large mammal is a “baa-baa” right now) which included sheep, goats, a donkey, and a 3 week-old calf. Ducks, rabbits, and chickens also abound.

Crash and Burn

This is what it looks like

Fall Photo Fun

It was a gorgeous day today and I took some photos of Trudy enjoying it at church with her Papa. Thanks Brandon for taking a couple of me and Dave too! Sunny days just kill me for photos because I have no idea how to work with the sun and shadows. Still some of them turned out pretty cute.

Check out Brandon in the window. It looks like a mirror!

I have no idea what happened here or why Dave's hands look chopped. Weird.

Playdate

Trudy and I have made a couple of friends at the park to enjoy playdates with. Jasper was kind enough to share an extra hoodie with Trudy when I neglected to dress her warmly enough. Thanks Rachel!

When she pretty much fell asleep in the swing I knew it was time to head home. She takes such good naps after a playdate at the park!
