Curtis Orchard

This morning, we took our third annual family trip to Curtis Orchard. Adam took the day off to work on the living room ceiling, so we decided to take our trip on a weekday morning instead of a Saturday to avoid some of the crowds. It was a good plan - we had a great time and didn't have nearly the crowds of last year's trip.



When we got to the Orchard, Abby wanted to go see the goats right away. She brought Baby Bear with her instead of Gingham, and she told him that we'd see real bears, but we had to settle for goats.



She did a good job feeding the goats. It took awhile for her to walk up close enough that the goats could reach the food in her hand, but once she got it figured out she had a grand time letting them eat from her hand. When she ran out of food, she wanted to pet all of the goats, too. When did she get so brave?



Nora stayed in the stroller and practiced her yoga.



After a brief stop at the playground, we headed out to the pumpkin patch.



Abby rode in the wagon; Nora stayed in her stroller, still practicing that yoga.





After a long trek out to the pumpkin patch, Abby and I walked through the patch, looking for the perfect pumpkin to bring home.



We carried back to show Dad and Nora.



Nora likes it!



And Dad likes it too!



Baby Bear likes it, too. We're all happy!



Nora didn't spend the whole trip practicing yoga in her stroller. She hopped out to play in a bin of pumpkins for awhile.



We stopped in the store on our way out (since we had to buy our pumpkin) and picked up some apple cider and apple doughnuts. Abby was a big fan of the apple cider - she had it instead of Kool-Aid at lunch and instead of chocolate milk at dinner. And we all enjoyed the apple doughnuts with our lunch. It was a great trip!
