Last Sunday at Saunder's Farm

Our family went on our annual trip to Saunder's Farm on Thanksgiving weekend. The girls were so excited to be going back this year - especially because of our free tickets. They were up bright and early asking every five minutes if it was time to go yet. Saunder's Farm had lots of new stuff this year and the kids had a blast checking it all out. They had to do everything. The favorites though were jumping in the hay and going on the Haunted Hay Ride. Both girls were a little scared but laughed a lot and knew it was only pretend. I love taking the kids here so much. It is so fun for me to just sit back and watch their excitement as they just relax and have fun and of coarse so fun to follow them around with my camera snapping pictures as they play.

Saunders Farm

We have a family tradition of going to Saunders Farm every year. I have so much fun taking the girls. It is so neat looking back at pictures from past years and seeing how much the girls have grown. They have so much fun with all the activities. Amber loves poking her head through the cardboard cutouts and playing in the dollhouse. Emily loves jumping in the hay. Both girls loved the show that was put on the stage. It was awesome. We also went on the haunted hay ride, mommy should have thought that one through a little better as both kids ended up crying. Lesson learned for next time.
