On the farm!

We've made the trip to my Aunt Margie's farm a couple of times before and it's always a huge treat, especially for Marigold.  They have sheep, chickens, fruit trees, blackberries, a train, a dog and a cat.  Can you imagine her excitement?!  

My Aunt saved the feeding of the chickens till we got there.  I didn't get a picture but Marigold will happily tell you all about it.

Marigold had no problem asking Margie or my cousin Emma to carry her.  If you know my mega independent child you know that means she liked them:)

Margie took us on a tour of the grounds and Marigold ate from every tree she was allowed to.

This was not one of them.  She just admired it. 

Adelaide found the farm life exhausting.

She ate this entire apple AFTER eating lunch, 2 plums, an asian pear and a load of blackberries.  Her diaper the next day = A nutritious disaster.

"Oh kitty, I love your pretty eyes!"

My Aunt and cousin made us a fantastic lunch full of all kinds of local produce.  My favorite way to munch.  Emma made amazing cookie bars for dessert.  Marigold knew just who to ask for her second and was oh so polite.

Margie had a great touch with Adelaide.

My pretty family!

We vowed when we left to try to make it up a few times a year.  We all had such fun and Marigold has worked all the memories into her play.  It really left an impression on her.
