Southbrook Farms

Remember how our visit to Southbrook Farms was a total fail last time? Well, we decided to quickly drop by after your skating lesson in the morning. This time it was a success. However, my only regret was not dressing you better for the outing. I thought we were going to go home to change before going there, but daddy wanted to go there early and leave early. So that's why you are dressed kind of grungy. It's always total chaos on Saturday mornings now because we have to wake up early to get you all ready for skating.

It was freezing cold so I wasn't able to take that many photos of Kendall. Daddy was holding
her, but even with a blanket it was way too chilly. He eventually went inside the Southbrook
store to wait for us.

You were very cranky after skating because you wanted daddy to hold you, but he didn't. I was
worried that you were going to just stand still and be all disinterested, but it was the total
opposite. You saw all these characters that you have read about or seen on TV so you were
running around like an excited boy trying to see it all. Here you are standing in front of
Spiderman. 

Look how happy you are!

Besides the cartoon characters there were a lot of scary-looking witches and other
ghoulish characters throughout the farm. They were actually pretty scary-looking.
I saw many kids crying because their parents made them sit with these characters so that
they could take pictures. You too were scared, but not enough that I was able to take some
quick snapshots.

Another shot of Kendall and daddy. Doesn't Kendall look cute as a button?

Aidan and mommy.

This is the closest you would go. I would too if I were you.
On a side note, what's that bucket you are carrying around in all the photos? It's the Happy
Meal bucket that you got when we went to McDonald's after skating practice. If it weren't
for that bucket we would have had a very grumpy Aidan.

Mommy, Aidan and a scary-looking farmer.

This was the best picture daddy could take of you by the pumpkins. You were just
too excited to sit still and pose for the cameras.

Look! There's Bert, Ernie and Elmo!

My happy boy~

Here is Mr Goof himself.

You were just admiring Goofy.

Aidan, the fireman.

Being silly that you are, you were trying to climb over the window.

They had a fake chicken coup and you were fascinated looking at them.

How tall is Aidan this year?

Exactly 3 feet!

Posing like Bob the Builder.

Time to leave Aidan!

When we left the farm we had to do a few errands and both you and Kendall passed out in the car.
