Our trip to the pet factory (that's what Reygann called it)

A week and a half ago we went up to the apple orchard (not the one we went to, a local one) with Holly and Alicia. Holly had tickets to the petting zoo, wagon ride, and train and asked if we wanted to go. We jumped at the chance!

Watching the lady make carmel apples!

Now she is in the back dipping it in Heath! Too bad they were too expensive, I totally would have gotten one!

We missed the wagon ride so after waiting around it was finally our turn to go back to the apples!


It was pretty nice at home, but it was a lot colder at the orchard! We were freezing!

Alicia picking apples

Tasting the fruits of their labors

Kylie noticed that Brodys apple had a star inside! I noticed that he was eating through the core!

We wanted to pick some of the bigger apples at the top, so Holly and I tried to pull the tree down a little to reach them and couldn't. We discovered a few minutes after trying that the tree was chained to a pole!

See, chained to a pole!

After we picked a few apples (like I need more!) we headed to the petting zoo area. Brody loved the baby chicks!

The girls did too.

Then Kylie took off in the hay maze playing with a boy. I found out after they quit chasing each other around that he is in her class at school.


Brody is saying hi to the goats
Holly was smart enough to bring change so we could get food for the animals! The thought didn't even cross my mind!!
She was nice enough to share with my kiddos. Reygann like the baby goat the most!
This is the pig pen. I didn't catch on to their houses... did you?

Their houses are from the 3 little pigs! The best part all three pigs were sleeping in the brick house like they knew it was the place to be!

Petting the fuzzy wuzzy sheep (that is a sheep, right?)

Checking out the birds

Holly and Alicia feeding the cows

Reyganns turn

and Kylie's too

I was trying to keep Brody 'petting' free

Feeding the baby cows again

Aww, crap! He petted them! Oh well.

I love this, he is like 'eww, it left spit on me!'

Isn't he SO cute! I love burros!!

Except this guy was pretty mean though, he kept kicking the baby burro away!

Giving the burro a second chance

Lookin for more food

Next we checked out the bunnies

and Kylie took a tractor ride

While I was turned around taking Kylie's picture, Brody climbed out of the wagon and up onto the rabbit cage!
Alicia's turn

...and Reyganns

Brody spotted the tractor!

He LOVED the tractor, and it was VERY difficult to get him away from it.

Since he was already licked on I let him stay out of the wagon and he got to feed the baby cows too. The baby cows had a bucket of food outside their pen so it was nice to have an endless supply of free food!

Brody didn't like having his hand flat to feed them, the food kept falling through his fingers. So he tried taking one piece at a time and shoving it in their noses!

I'm pretty sure he thought it was their mouths, but either way he thought it was funny!

Silly boy

The whole gang

This is right before...
...he dumped the bucket out, oops!

Then he tried to throw the bucket out!

We headed back inside to go to the bathroom before we left and Kylie helped Brody check out the carmel apple station too.
I think it was almost 3 before we left and it took no time before Brody fell asleep in the car! It was a great time. Thanks for inviting us Holly!
