After an extremely stressful week, the weekend was absolutely awesome - time spent with my two favorite girls in the world - Amanda and Peyton.
On Saturday, I met them at the Apple Cider Mill Festival in Louisburg, Kansas (Chad had Lasik surgery on Friday and needed to stay home and recover - Ron had a Rotary commitment). The weather was fabulous, and the event was very enjoyable. Peyton is fascinated by Elmo right now and was able to get the balloon art man to make her an Elmo balloon - it looked amazingly like Elmo! Like at Olde Glory Days, she wanted to ride the ponies, but when it came time, she was too scared. Poor little thing. We had fun looking at all the booths and eating cider donuts and drinking homemade cider - we even brought home a couple of gallons of it and some pumpkin butter and apple butter. Yummo.
On Sunday, Ron and I ventured to the KC area to run some errands, have a leisurely breakfast and to meet up with Peyton and Amanda at the Deanna Rose Farmstead Pumpkin Patch for another afternoon of fun. Peyton loved feeding a baby goat a bottle of milk, visiting the moo cows, turkeys and chickens and feeding the ducks. She had a great time playing on the playground, especially the slide. We took a hayride (which she did not like) through the farm and down to the pumpkin patch where she had fun playing in the corn box (like a sandbox but corn) and picking out her pumpkins to take home. The hayride (pulled by horses) back to the main area wasn't nearly as traumatic, but when the horses stopped, she emphatically waved her hands and said, rather loudly, "all done, all done". Guess she didn't want to go for another ride.
We then all went to their house where we visited Chad who was still not up to being out and about and then went out to dinner before we headed back to Clinton.
It was a super great weekend.
