Fall Weekend with Mimi:: Part II

While Mimi was here we went to Bergey's Breadbasket to do the corn maze and try some of their homemade ice cream that Nate and I have heard so much about. I didn't know it but they also had a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, tractor ride, & corn gun. We had fun playing on the farm and it was another beautiful fall day! 

 Mimi and the girlies. It is quite the miracle to get both girls looking somewhat near the camera!


I love these pics of Mimi and Aubs, I got several of them laughing together and had to share more than one! 



Roo Roo has done a lot of growing since Mimi saw her last!

Aerial view of the corn maze we did. Sure glad Nate was there guiding us through it!

We tried to get a family picture here but the girls would have nothing to do with it.

Aubrey was trigger happy so we didn't win the free ice cream but not to worry we still bought some! Their homemade ice cream is delish!

Mooing at the cows!

Bergey's had some goats too, these loved to show off with horn fights!

Fall Weekend with Mimi:: Part I

Mimi came to visit for a few days and the girls had a blast playing with her. I don't think they minded all the spoiling as well:) We are so blessed to have Mimi in our lives and so glad she got to take time away from work to visit the girls. Our first trip was to Hunt Club Farm where the girls had a ball playing in the hay, going on a hay ride, and seeing/petting all the animals. It was a beautiful fall day and we made lots of fun memories.

There are several animals in the petting zoo and Reagan impersonated almost all the animals as we walked around.  Here they are peering in on some ducks and peacocks.

Roo Roo was saying neighhh!

Aubrey loved feeding this goat. He was quite the hungry guy and ended up eating the brown feeding bag and pushing all the baby goats away so only he got food. 


Not sure who enjoyed it more, Aubrey or the goat!

The hay stack might have been the girls favorite thing all day. We could hardly get them away from it and they kept wanting to go back!

I love the mischievous look in Reagan's eyes here!



Mimi got covered in hay!

Aubrey can handle the John Deere like a true Texas girl!

We ended the trip on a hayride! Thanks for all the fun at Hunt Club Mimi!!

Apple Picking at Martin Vineyards

Last weekend Nate and I were so excited to take the girls Apple picking about 45 minutes away in Knotts Island NC. I had a list of recipes I was going to make with our fresh picked apples. As we pulled into the Apple Orchard the owner came up to us and said the Apples came in about two weeks early this year and they didn't have any left. They have a huge orchard and every single apple was gone! I was so disappointed but the trip was salvaged because the girls got to pick their own pumpkin off a vine in the pumpkin patch and we were allowed to go picking in their private garden. The owners let us fill up a bag as much as we could for $10. At the end of the afternoon Nate and I were able to do a wine tasting which was a bonus! I love muscadine grapes and the owner makes Muscadine wine which was delish! It's a sweet wine that Nate and I both really enjoyed.

Daddy pick this one!!!
