Ellms Farm

The weather this fall has been better than I can ever remember - crisp, warm, sunny days surrounded by the changing leaves. It has really made for some great weekend activities with the ladies, especially at one of our favorite fall spots, Ellms Family Farm in Galway. Grandma and Aunt Annemarie happened to stop by after church, so they tagged along as well, which was a treat for the girls.

They have so many fun things for kids to do, and they loved the little car roller coaster. I think R went about 50 times. She is such a little daredevil, hopping on the big ones with the older kids without looking back, while her perfectly patient and cautious sister M made sure all the wheels were lined up and all of us were watching her as she slowly made her way down the hill. The girls are so different, it never ceases to amaze me!

They both loved the chicken show, which was essentially stuffed chickens singing recorded versions of "if you're happy and you know it" and "old mcdonald". I think it was the little bleachers that were just their size that made it so exciting.

The cow train was also a big hit, M rode with Grandma and R with Daddy and their smiles coming around the bend at the end to spot me were priceless. I can not get enough of seeing the happiness on their faces. It is the absolute best feeling in the world!

We tried to get a classic picture of the two of them in the pumpkin patch, but R kept trying to pick them all up (along with heavy grunting, haha) and M was not having it and kept running away. So she picked a dark green (which she was calling her black) small pumpkin - her way of being a rebel! - and we called it a day.
