Wood Resealing = Bad. Ice Cream For Lunch = Good.

We were all home the other day, so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to check out a park we heard about from a friend. It's a gigantic wooden castle with slides and major fun-ness, so we piled into Big Blue and took a ride up the Turnpike to Lansdale.

As we turned down the driveway, the castle loomed in the distance. The boys started screaming, "The castle! It's the castle!" We pulled up and...buzzkill alert...the entire thing was closed for wood resealing.


Luckily we weren't too far from Freddy Hill Farms. To make up for the playground guilt we were feeling, we let the boys eat ice cream for lunch (homemade, delish) and then checked out their farm.



They had lots of animals - baby cows, pigs, chickens, llamas, deer, buffalo - when I pointed out the reindeer Ry said "his nose doesn't look very red" but I think he was still impressed. Not as impressed, however, as he was by the discovery of a catepillar.



We rounded out the trip with a visit to their pumpkin patch. I think I've officially given up trying to get a picture with all 3 of them looking cute - between Ry's lemon face, Charlie's look of major concern, and Cole's hair (in his defense it was very windy that day) this was the best we could get.

Happy Fall!
