LARRILAND FARM

Last weekend we met Ryan, Jen & Elaina at Larriland Farm--a big, beautiful farm in Woodbine. They have a corn maze, lots of pick-your-own fruits & vegetables, hayride, a big country barn store and, of course, PUMPKINS!!

We highly recommend it for a visit, anytime of year.

Paul (aka "Grampa") ran all over the farm with Elaina in this cart. She loved it!
And we walked up & down the rows of apple trees with her in it too....

Isn't Elaina cute "peeking" at me between the apple trees?

It rained in the morning, so we took a little break & let Elaina play in the back of our van.

Look at those BIG blue eyes
peering at me through the window!....

On the hayride, Elaina wasn't sure what she thought of the hay at first,
then she decided she LOVED it!....

Along the way, Grampa played some
silly "hand in the straw" games....








And Elaina made some new friends!....

She also tried eating
some of the straw (yuk!)....



And rolling in it. Haha!!....

Here's the obligatory silly faceboard shot!
(we chose the pig board because Elaina is such a little piggy when she eats!)....

Elaina liked watching
the animals at the barn
(with Daddy & Grampa)....

The llamas were POSING for pictures!

And Elainia laughed when Grampa fed this
CRAZY goat that jumped up on the roof!....

Then, of course, the moment we'd
all been waiting for!.....
the visit to the PUMPKINS.
(but how are we going to get THIS one home??)....

Uh oh.
Someone's looking v-e-r-y sleepy!


Yep! She's OUT!!....

Pefect timing!
Just as we finished our shopping.

Back in the carseat, headed home for a big NAP!....

Catching up!

Been a l-o-n-g time since I posted.
This weekend I'll try to play "catch up".

Let's start with these pictures from today.

We've been getting to see "the Peanut" (aka our little granddaughter, Elaina) quite a bit lately, to our DELIGHT!

Today she came for a morning visit while Jen got her hair done.

As you can see, she & our dog Tami are becoming quite the pals! They shared lunch, talked about it, and sat looking out the back door together.

CUTE!!

This is one of Elaina's favorite toys at our house. She likes to play the piano & DANCE!!....

Today she was cuddly....

VERY cuddly.... I LOVE IT!!
