Another Fall Adventure

Posted on by

Today Jimmiqua, you and I went to another Farm Market! We walked through the most amazing teepees, played in the pumpkins, petted some sheep, ate some concord grapes, and went on a haunted hayrack ride!! And, when we thought the fun was over…

Here is some info on the place – It really is FANTASTIC!! We’ll have to take friends and family when they come to visit! Thanks for being such a fantastic reason to get to know our community, Peanut! You are a blessing in so many, many ways! I love you.

Power Farm Market
Powers grows fresh produce and makes jams and jellies, all for sale at their farm store, where they also sell gifts and knick-knacks. For Halloween celebration and harvest’s end, they deck the store and fields with corn-husk [wikipedia]tipis and hundreds of creatively carved Jack-o-Lanterns.

Teepees Awake – The famous teepees on the front lawn of Powers are now open to the general public. Inside holds the ghosts of countless beings yearning to get out but are trapped inside! Bring your kids to see this haunting attraction. Alongside a field of pumpkins, it will surely be a time to remember. Enjoy!

Apple Farm

Look forward to going every fall with family. Great, and I mean great prices on you pick apples. Excellent variety of apples. Tractor gives rides to/from orchards. Also have picked apples, apple cider, candies apples, and donuts available for purchase. Friendly and helpful staff. Five Stars! Plenty of parking. You can bring your own bags/containers or buy bags for a minimal price.

This was somebody’s enthusiastic review on the web – I think, we would agree – 5 stars! Can’t wait to go back!

Daddy went to pick you up after your nap on Saturday, and he found you on top of your changing table!!
The next day we bought sheets for your new full mattress that will be on the floor of your new room.

Saturday you met Curious George and Clifford, the big red dog at the WXXI open house!

We also touched turtles and snakes, made music and did crafts. Oh yes, we also ate doughnuts.

In the afternoon, Marlie and her Mom joined us for the Hilton Apple Festival. I was hoping for more apples and fewer craft booths, but we had a great time anyway!
We are fair food, played with balloons, sang songs and went down the slide.

The next day, Jimmiqua joined us for church. Then we all went to the West Irondequoit Fall Festival. It was great to get outside. We went on a hay ride, ate hot dogs, and made sand art. Jimmiqua volunteered to play an instrument / toy for the folk singer. She did a great job!

Today you and I walked to daycare together! You would walk away and pick up some sticks or look at flowers, and then come back and reach up to hold my hand.
We pointed out birds (“chirp chirp”)and trees and cars (“beep beep”) and dogs (“woof woof”) to each other as we walked. What a treasured time.

You can say apple and elbow, and Marlie, and all kinds of new words. Yesterday I had to teach my night class, and you and Daddy left me a message on my office phone. You said Hi! And Mama! And Mommy! I listened to it a couple of times and saved it so I can hear it anytime I miss you (which is ALL the time during the day!)

our saturday

Hey Beautiful –

No big happenings today, but boy did we have fun!!

After snuggling and reading and eating some breakfast, you and I went down the street to see Roz, Katie and Collin. Katie shared her cereal with you, and Collin played and snuggled and giggled with you. Here are some pictures from that time:

After that you and I took Jimmiqua shopping for some jeans for school. It was really fun to hang out with her… It has been far too long.

Then after lunch and a nap, you and I walked around the neighborhood a bit, and then ran some errands. We took our time in the store and played all along the way.

After we got back, we put up a “Secret Castle Sleep Tent” and played some more. Daddy moved the recliner up to your room so we can rock and sing when you go to sleep. Bedtime is such a special time with you!

You bring so much JOY to my life, Peanut Butter. I love you to pieces.
