Farm Festival Day and a BIG Discovery at the end of the day!!

I found an article in the paper about a farm nearby that was having a free "Fall Farm Festival." I had talked to my sister and Jeff about it and we had planned to go Saturday. Well, I woke up Saturday morning to discover that Jeff had canceled the plans with Brooke and I to go golfing. He had me in tears!! I'm still very upset and have not forgiven him!!!! He said he would make that up to us, but I have yet to see that!!!! Can you tell I'm mad?!?!?! Anyways, my sister, Shelby, Gavin and my mom met up with us and we headed out to the farm. That had several activities for the kids. Below are some of the activities we got into. They also had 2 mules with a plow behind them that they were letting kids try but we opted out of that one.

There he is but now Shelby is hidden.

This video was taken while we were eating our barbeque sandwiches. She was so tired!!

Gavin did not want to get out of the back of the truck!!

Grandma finally caught him and then we bribed him with boiled peanuts.

After the festival, we stopped over at Lane's Packing Company for some ice cream and to try out the corn maze that just opened.

Here is Shelby sitting on a huge pumpkin.

Brooke trying to tear up the scarecrow!

Brooke swinging for the first time! We waited until Jeff got back from the desert to take her but he had something more important to do this day!!

She loved it!!

My precious girl!!

Brooke and I swinging together for the 1st time.

I had such a great time doing this with my daughter!!!

Which way should we go?

Shelby's pumpkin cookie

Mom finally got her peach ice cream. They were out the first time we came in for ice cream.

***I dropped my Mom and Shelby off at her car and headed to Publix to pick up a few things. As we were walking through the store I noticed Brooke had 2 surprises for me. The first surprise did not smell so good!! Lovely!!! The next and more exciting surprise was that my baby girl has her first tooth!!!!! I was tearing up in Publix over a tooth!!!! It just came through her gums but boy is that thing sharp!!! Word on the street is that Brooke beat her almost 13 month old cousin Ashley in the tooth department!!!! It's a pretty long tooth. I haven't decided if there is one or 2. Hopefully in another few days I'll know for sure.

Last week's activites

Brooke helping Mommy cook in the kitchen.

She's still a little confused about how to use the mixing bowl!

Brooke passed out on me in Target. Good thing that cover comes with a nice pillow!

Another view!! LOL

My sweet, beautiful, happy little girl!!

Babysitting Caleb! I don't think he minded being in a pink swing. He's just turned a month old.
