Visiting the Farm

What happens when a bunch of city-folk drive an hour through the beautiful rolling hills of Virginia,  and head to a farm for the day?    

Well, in this case, they had a {mostly} UDDER-ly great time! 

The kids bounced around,  

played with friends, 

went on a hayride, 

picked fresh apples straight off the tree, 

and in general just enjoyed being together in the fresh country air.

While it was mostly fun, there were a few hiccups with how they ran things that made me a little grumpy.   I even had a little melt-down at the check-out when buying our apples when the worker was rude and condescending to me.   We resolved our misunderstanding in the end and it was okay, but next time I think I will either stick with city-life or visit a much less commercialized part of the country!

On another note, here's a cute picture of Ellie with Spencer's girlfriend, Erin, who dropped by the other day and became an honorary judge on our family version of Cutthroat Kitchen.
