We live in New England and so the Fall is a pretty nice time of year to live here. The weather becomes milder and it is just cold enough to start wearing long sleeves. It is also a great time to take the little ones out to the local farms. I really enjoy frequenting the local farms because you can not only find some great deals on good food but you can also have a nice afternoon of entertainment for very little money.
Yesterday Allison and I took Eva to a local farm called Adam’s Farm and there they have some cows, goats, sheep and chickens. They also have a corn maze and an area filled with pumpkins. First we took Eva to the pumpkin area and there we set her down and let her explore. She climbed all over the pumpkins, found some small ones and really liked the weird looking gourds. The whole time she was doing that I was snapping away with my camera. Farms are great places to get photos, you are outside the light is natural and the scenery is perfect. If you have some time go and frequent one of your local small farms if there are any near you. You might end up with pictures like the ones I got.
Today we took Eva to Adam’s Farm to play int he pumpkins. I was very surprised to see so many people at the place. I think maybe we went at a later part of the season the last time we went to the farm. Actually we went earlier in the season as I just checked the photo gallery. So this was the first time that we took Eva. We let her crawl around and play on the pumpkins. I got some nice shots of her having a good time. We also got some goat food and fed the goats and the calf. The goat food was in an ice cream cone. As I was feeding the goat the cone was bitten in such a way that it pretty much exploded in my hand. I jumped.
After that we went over to our friend’s house for Chili and S’mores. Allison made a white chili with chicken and our friend Amy made the traditional meat chili. We also had little corn bread muffins, oyster crackers, cheese dip and nacho chips. It was a very tasty evening that was finished off with some S’mores Nachos.
Also at dinner I showed my friend Ryan my iTouch and he had just gotten one too. then one of Allison’s friend’s boyfriend showed us his as well. We compared applications and had some geeky fun. I even showed them how to add a blog to the Home Screen, especially one with a Blog Icon. In between we played Guitar Hero on the Wii. We did the Guitar Hero 3 version and the Aerosmith version as well.
