The Farmer's Museum...






















Monday was a gloriously sunny spring day.  It had been rainy, cold, and windy up until Sunday afternoon and I was relieved that Monday would be so lovely!  We had brunch with my father, sisters, brother, and niece at the hotel and then headed over to The Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown, New York.  I had heard a bit about the museum from my sister, but wasn't expecting it to be as wonderful as it was!  I can honestly say that if we lived near this place, we would have a family pass and would visit very frequently!  From the schoolhouse, the animals, the working farmhouse where the farmer's wife cooks meals for the family right in front of you, to the broom making, spinning, and weaving, and the carousel, it was a terrific outing for us all!

Paddle Boating...






Earlier this week, Fr John took the morning off to take us to a nearby state park to go paddle boating with the little ones. Button and I stayed on the shore enjoying the cool shade of a tree so that we could take pictures! It was quite an adventure for the children. Papa even had to push the boat out of the mud where it got stuck!

The Forecast is Calling for Rain Until Tuesday...

We were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch yesterday, but hit a bounce house instead. Our little ones slept hard last night!

Apple Picking!

We took a wagon ride to the apple orchards and passed the pumpkin patch on the way... we'll be going to the pumpkin farm on Thursday, so we didn't pick out any pumpkins today.


Here are some of the apple trees and the path that the wagon takes to drop people off to pick


Pink Ladies


More pumpkins and the dormant strawberry patch


Soybeans


We spent a little time at the petting zoo that was set up. My little ones loved the bunnies best of all, but also got a chance to meet a baby cow, a pony, and some chickens.


Some animals made from straw


Soybeans to play in... this reminded me how much I want to set up some kind of grain box for the little ones before it gets too cold!


My favorite part of the day... coming home to a hot cup of tea and a freshly made apple cider doughnut!
