Ignoring the rain

On Saturday we decided to take a family day, Dan took the day off to spend with us and it was great! we took the kids to willowview farm where they have a petting zoo and a pumkin patch and hayrides and all that fun stuff. It was cloudy all morning but just as we got there it started to rain...O well if we wait for it to stop raining it will be June and the pumkins will be gone. It seems like summer came to an abrupt end. and we didnt get the nice sunny warm fall we usually do either, the rain has really been getting to me lately and i wasn't about to let it ruin our family fun, so we ignored it. rain? what rain?
Dahlia had a blast seeing all the animals in the petting zoo, she was afraid of them at first and didnt want to touch them especially the giant turkey, it had a blue face and just looked mean, but she took a liking to the goats and loved to feed them hay and kernles of corn. She even worked up the courage to touch them.
Nate our little pumkin head, enjoyed the animals too! he was quite enthralled by them maybe he will be a farmer one day.
Dahlia had so much fun picking up pumkins she went for the biggest one she could find first and then realized she wasnt able to pick it up so she found one a little more suited to her size. we didnt bother buying one though I dont really know what to do with pumkins and she isnt old enough to carve one yet, maybe next year we will take one home with us. We tried to get a good picture of her in the pumkins but she would not cooperate at all. this is the best we could do.
Nate is already enjoying books he loves to read! what a smart little guy!
Okay well he enjoys books..... maybe not to read though.
Dahlia was being a little ham tonight she was walking around with a garbage can on her head...I guess she might be going a little stirr crazy with all the rain she cant go outside and play much, being indoors so much is starting to get to her, and me. please start praying for sunshine!!!!!!!!

I love Nathans little hat, with the M&Ms, thats awesome. We have a constant battle going on between our families on whether M&Ms are better then smarties. I wish I had a hat like that for Hunter, how fun. I can't believe how big hes getting too, it seems you just had him. Cute!

Hannah prayed for sunshine tonight. She is getting pretty stir-crazy too. Nice brown dress Dahlia! Hannah would wear hers every day if i didn't hide it every now and then. She pulled it out of the laundry today and I gave in and let her wear it dirty. She calls it her princess dress.
