fall on the farm...

We live right across the street from Murray State's arboretum and greenhouse so every year when they have their "fall on the farm" festivities we are right there!! It's packed with all kinds of fun things like massive tube slides, a corn pit, a petting zoo, pony rides, a corn maze and other things like milking cows. Here are a few... well, more than a few pictures from the day.

Daddy explaining that this wasn't a horse.

We found Wilbur and apparently we are petting his bum.

"Hi rabbit... come on ducks"

Maddie was VERY vocal with all the animals in the petting zoo, she mainly told them what to do... she's going to make a great big sister. HA!

After this calf stepped on her foot we were all done with the animals.

We asked Maddie SEVERAL times about wanting to ride the pony and everytime she responded with a "PEEEEAS". However, just like the two previous years before the second she started to get on the pony she clung to her daddy for dear life. So, what did we do...

We walked beside "Pete".

I love her face here... "Seriously dad, you wanted me to do what?"

One of the massive tube slides.

Last year Kevin made her go down the slide the first time and she then wanted to go again and again. This year he didn't have to make her go down the slide and when he asked her if she wanted to go again she replied with a "No, thank you!!"

Maddie got to paint two pumpkins this year.

It was very serious business.

The finished product.

Just in case there was any confusion.

The corn pit was by FAR the highlight of her day...

More corny fun...

Do not all mothers think their daughters are SO beautiful?

Covering those toes.

This is Maddie's "What are you going to do if I try to eat this" face...

Thankfully she spit it out... Ewwwww!!

Dads are so much fun :)

When we got home later that day Kevin and I made a bet as to how much corn we would find in her diaper. I guessed 7 pieces and Kevin guessed 15 pieces. Needless to say... we were both way off... That's right a whopping 46 pieces stuck in that diaper. That must have been comfy.
