E-I-E-I-O

We went to a farm!  (Okay, so it wasn't necessarily and e-i-e-e-o kind of farm, but I thought the title would be appropriate since we are teaching Cecilia that song.)  A few weekends ago we headed up to Miller Farms for the day.  It was beautiful weather! The girls did great, and it was nothing short of the perfect family outing. 

Cecilia loved climbing up the big hay stack, jumping on a big pillow, playing on the train, feeding the goats and picking produce.  Mostly, she loved to play in the dirt.  Lilly was so good.  She hung out in her stroller before we got on the trailers to head out to the fields, and then she fell asleep in my arms for a nap while Jon and Cecilia picked most of the veggies.  I wish I had brought the baby holster (baby Bjorn) with to the fields, because 14.5lbs gets really heavy after a bit. 
 










We picked onions, cabbage, kohlrabi, corn, potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots.  Corn was Cecilia's favorite because the ears were right at her level.  Jon took her into the corn field and came out with three bags of corn because she just couldn't help herself. Good thing it freezes!  We also bought a few big pumpkins and a watermelon. 

 





By the time we got to the car, Cecilia was so tired.  I tried to keep her awake with lunch in the car, but she fell fast asleep with a piece of ham in her hand.
