September-

We went to Center Grove Orchard 3 times this fall. It is my new favorite place. Each time we were there for at least 4 hours and we never even picked apples! They have sooo much for little people to do, as you can see from the pictures. Ava's favorite was the outdoor bouncy pad. It was total joy watching her play on it. The 2nd time we went no one was there and  I joined her on it. haha wish we had a picture of me and my belly bouncing away!

Another thrill: feeding goats and chickens:)

The three little pigs- straw

sticks...

bricks...

Apparently to Ava the thrill of having her own little house was shutting herself in and yelling as loud as possible-just because she could:)

I don't know why but Ava (and all her little 2 year old friends) seem to love pumpkins and squash of all kinds. I'm not sure what the thrill is but I love pumpkins too*

 the bouncy pad...I wish I had taken a better shot from a distance to give you an idea of the size of it. I think it was somewhere between 20-30 feet long and about 15 feet wide. SOOOO fun! 

hey maze...kinda lame we thought:)

Her favorite of the animals:) 

in true girly fashion, this was her least favorite activity. The next time we went to the orchard we went with 3 little boys and they couldn't get enough of the tractors! Can't wait to see all the differences between Ava and Everett!

the coolest set up- Alice in Wonderland! This is where we ate our picnic lunch, sitting on silly chairs, with a checkered table cloth and cups hanging from the tree above...I am thinking birthday theme for next year:)

September moved slowly, but as you can see, I haven't had time to post for MONTHS so eventually things got moving quickly. So quickly I can hardly keep up! 

Thanks for reading:)
