Fun at the Farm

We went to Patterson Farm's Family Fun Fest with our friends the Jacksons. Elizabeth and Emma are "bosom buddies." They are so silly together. They really have opposite personalities sometimes, but when they're together, they just click! They will have conversations with each other where each one is talking about something completely different, but somehow the conversation goes somewhere and they understand each other! Patterson's is a picking farm, mostly apples, but they also have pumpkins and squash and strawberries. They had a big crate of apples that you could just eat out of while there, and we gave Bree an apple. Boy, was that the highlight of her day! She attacked that thing with a fury, practically growling each time she went in for a "bite" (not much biting going on with only 2 teeth just breaking the surface). Then Emma sat next to her with an apple of her own, and Bree started going for that one too! The pictures are hilarious, especially when you can imagine what's going through her head!

And this is what happened when we took the apple away-notice the pulsating vein in her head? That's how angry she was :)

And there was the hay! The girls had a great hay fight-we're still finding hay in Emma's bed and in the car.

Patterson's is also out in the country, so there were beautiful tree surroundings, which Dave LOVED. It's funny how you can be in the privacy of your backyard in the city and still feel exposed (which I hate), but you can be in a public place out in the country and feel totally secluded. I love that feeling. We'll definitely be looking to live in a place like that.
