<\/a>Eve was nervous about petting the sheep, but she happily followed Parrish over.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This smart cow knows that the food comes from that little machine. She was right there whenever a kid went over and she stayed afterwards and licked the machine! Even inside the door. Smartie cow.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Lex took a few minutes to work up the courage, but eventually pet the goat.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>This farm had lots of peacocks. None spread their feathers for us though :(<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We rode the wagon up to the orchards. The kids were excited :) <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>Lex in a tree. He climbed every tree he could!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Smiling Eve<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>I tried to get a picture of them together, but this is the best I got. Some day maybe they will both smile and pose at the same time for me! <\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>The kids ate lots of apples. Well, we all ate lots of apples! When I was packing the picnic in the morning, Lex said, "Why are you packing lunch? Can't we just eat apples for lunch?" :)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Robina was helping Eve pick apples (while I took pictures!) A few minutes prior to this picture we saw a snake slithering around. Moments before this picture Eve dropped an apple on the ground and said, "We'll just let the snake eat the apple." Robina is laughing at the inadvertent biblical reference.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>"It's like a pocket" said Eve, when she realized she could carry apples in her skirt. Like the fancy outfit she chose for apple picking? <\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Two bushels of deliciousness!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>I commented on the delicious smell of donuts when we first got there and the rest of the time Eve kept asking, "Where's my donut?" After lunch she finally got her donut and they were gooooood!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Three little apples<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Nice view! (and I love the lone apple on the floor of the wagon)<\/p><\/div>\n
