Anticipation

Because we are heading to Sunflower Farm in the morning, and because we are going with some of our very best friends, the Rices, I am absolutely giddy with excitement. Last October, we went with our cousins, Katie, Porter and Paisley. With this upcoming visit to the farm, I went back to look at that last trip and realized I'd never blogged the pictures, so here they are!


We started the day playing in an old airplane. Porter was excited to be the pilot!


Then it was off to visit the sheep and give them a bit of a corn snack.

How precious are these sweet cousins?!

Waiting for our turn for a horse back ride, Paisley, Elizabeth, and Emily talked to the horses.

Getting those horse back riding helmets on!

Emily got to go first this time. Look at this big girl riding a horse! She loved it!



Addie was up next. She got to ride the little pony, and got to hold onto the saddlehorn like a real cowgirl.



Elizabeth got to take her first ride with Mama. She was pretty excited!


Porter rode like a natural. A true cowboy on the back of this horse.


Paisley got to ride with Mama, too. What fun!


Emily tested out this rope swing....

...while Addie bonded with this little friend over the magic of Frozen shirts.

Zip Line Time!


Porter found the giant sandbox and made himself right at home with the trucks.


Right by the sandbox there is a little house we've never explored, and the girls had a blast climbing to the kid-sized loft above and watching their friends play below.




Tire swing!

This handsome guy did a little strutting for us.

A little corner of the farm we hadn't visited before...complete with cozy swing and cozy coupe.

And right around the corner from this corner, was this.... the largest collection of outside toys I've ever laid eyes on. Cars, bikes, scooters, roller skates...just about everything you can imagine. We hung out here until the 1:00 bell ringer came around, letting us know the farm would be closing.



While the kids entertained themselves, I got a couple pictures of some of the awesome folk art that can be found on the farm.


 On our way out to our cars, the kids found the pumpkin patch.

I was awed, as usual, by the amazing view of the mountains that comes with a visit to the farm.





Can't wait to go back!!!
