Stocker Farms

It's that time of year again. You have to look at all of my pictures of us at farms because you know I can't get enough of them.
Cousin Orion gives me sly little look.
Anna totally amazed me and put in her own nails and hammered them all the way in with out even hitting her hand. She is so independant.
Liam and his cousin Connor worked very hard and diligently together.

Farmer Anna

Playing in the corn. This is always a favorite with the kiddos.

Orion is lost in tractor land.

Making music the old fashioned way.

The boys and the queens. The Girls La Cross Royalty trailed behind Connor and Liam for the tractor train.
This is Eric's "why am I such a sucker for my cute little girl" face. He knees are being smashed to pulp in this picture.
Connor and Liam had a good time figuring out how to work as a team on the barrels. These are apparently a part of a tractor but I'm not sure which part.
Heather and Evan had a race. They got in trouble for going to fast and I have to say Heather that I think Evan won. Sorry.
It was a beautiful day, the kids had a ball playing together and the we love that Heather and Evan took the time and effort to drive up and sleep over at our place. Thanks guys!

Family Farm Day

We headed north last weekend to Skagit Counties' Family Farm Day. All the farms are free for the day. We joined Eric's cousin Matt and Brookes family and had some old fashioned fall fun.
Te tractor pull is always a hit witht he kiddies.
The flowers were still in bloom and they were so beautiful.
The apple trees were loaded and Anna and I had fun picking a few.

resting at the kids table.
THere were some huge tractors for the kids to climb into.

The petting zoo. Anna was so gentle with this bunny.
looking for prizes in the hay.

Liam's squash racer.

riding ponies. Liam was very careful to make sure he got a big pony and not one for the little kids.
I have to apologize for some of these pics. My camera's setting were off for a while. But they are still cute to me at least.

THey had a little haunted house for the kiddies in the barn.

They had a cute little corn maze just for kids
Tori and Liam are little buddies.

In the corn.
Te gardens at this farm had an Alice in wonderland feel to them. It looked more like spring than fall.
This cow was Anna's best friend. It licked her all over the place and she giggled like crazy.
Anna has started sticking her leg out in this femenine way for all her pictures lately.
Anna lugged her little pumpkin that she painted all around the gardens at this farm. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast. Thanks for inviting us Brooke and Matt.
