Farm Tots


I had never heard of this program at South 47 Farm until the last day it was available! A chance for the last hayride of the year for Lon.


Lon rode the hay bales again.

Lon is thinking Mommy did not bring quarters to feed the goats and alpacas. He was wrong, Mommy did bring 2 quarters!


He has now discovered how cool those head shot things are! He loves getting his picture taken in them every chance he gets.



While we were waiting for the program to start, Lon went back to the hay bale ponies.



I tried to get a photo of him with the scarecrows.


The program started with the little ones playing in a box of dried peas and barley. Lon thought it was pretty cool, all those dried peas. We went to our table, Lon got to color some pumpkin pictures, we sang some songs, learned some more about how good vegetables are and then went on the hayride.


Farmer Everett is in the background helping all the people are on board.


After our hayride, Lon got to pick a sugar pumpkin. He ran down to the pumpkin field.


He picked a very cute little pumpkin. I did not help him with that.


Talking to Mr. Chicken. Lon wanted to pet the chickens, but they were not co-operative in that regard. This one did like to hear Lon talk to him, and as long as Lon talked he stayed near the fence.



Farmer Everett called out Last Hayride! Lon really wanted to go, but he already used his hayride ticket. He ran up to Farmer Everett and asked if he could go on the hayride cause he really loved hayrides! Farmer Everett said he could get on. When we went to pay, we were told that it was okay, Lon was so cute the ride was free.


We stopped at the eucalyptus grove and they gave us a piece. They cut it down each year, and mulch it well. It comes back and grows to about 7 feet over the summer.

After Farm Tots, we went to Ty's house. We got Ding Dongs! Ding Dongs! Lon was okay with them, not wild about them.

Two Videos from St Edward Park

Today we met up with Ty and Jacky at St. Edward.

There was playing in the sand box. Which is always fun!







There was music! You can make good noise by hitting the thing with sticks! COOLNESS!






We brought Lon's trike! He had fun with that! Ty had his too. It was fun.












When we were ready to go home, we had some snacks!





Yes, Lon's very first Twinkie!




Wow! it's creamy



Ty's first Twinkie, too


This thing is really yummy, Mommy!


Yummy!

Twinkies are a special treat!

Pumpkin Carving

When we got home this afternoon Lon and I carved pumpkins!
We started with the little sugar pumpkins, putting in the decorations from Fredericksburg. The bat, the cat and the witch!

Lon is working on the cat

Ta-Da! The cat is done! Next up, the cat and the witch! Lon did well with those

He wanted a carved pumpkin too, like the ones in New Hampshire. So I asked him if wanted to draw one or pick out a design. He picked out a kitty face for Mommy to cut out. He was a bit miffed he could not use the knife to cut out the little pieces. He got over it when Daddy gave him some candy corn.

He did get to pull off the paper, which he really liked
Oh my goodness! What has taken residence in Lon's room! It must be big!

Meeting Kayla


Today we met Kayla for the first time.

Isn't she a beautiful princess?

Brian and Lon played together.



Lon pushed Brian


Brian pushed Lon





Lon sneaks a peek at Kayla. She was just waking up.


Brian helped to feed his little sister. He was very gentle with her.


I got to hold her for a bit. I forgot how tiny 5 week old babies are. She was so light!

It was good to see Auntie Michelle and Uncle Chong. Lon did not want to go home, he likes playing with Brian.

We will go visit them again soon.

Happy Diwali!

Tonight Uncle Vasu and Auntie Harshi invited us to a Diwali party. Diwali officially starts next week, but this is a nice way to get it started.




We played charades, with movie titles. Hindi and English. Mark and I did not any Hindi movies, but it was fun watching everyone act out the titles.


There was a little girl there who was just turning 3. Lon liked playing with her.




We got to see Uncle Rahul and Auntie Prachi.

We had some very good food. I am happy to know that homecooked Indian food is not as spicey as the food you find in restaurants.

It was a very fun evening. I am glad we went.

South 47 Farm


Today we went to South 47 Farm with Auntie Harshi! It was very fun.


Playing while we wait for the hay wagon!

Here comes the hay ride!


This is fun!!
