Marley Farm Thanksgiving

We were invited to have Thanksgiving Dinner (Wednesday night before T-Day) at Marley Farm this year. One of the sisters that I visit teach works at the farm and she was the one that invited us to come to the farm and enjoy the delicious food, petting zoo, pony rides, jump house and entertainment.. It was held on Wednesday evening and all of the people who work at Marley Farm come and bring guests. Marley Farm is a working farm with a petting zoo and some interesting animals -miniature bulls, camels, donkeys, llamas, deer and some others I'm forgetting I'm sure, among the regulars (goats, ducks, sheep). The kids were able to feed some of the animals in in the petting area. The younger two were also able to have a ride on the ponies there. Ty didn't want to, I think it might have had something to do with the fact that he did the horsemanship merit badge at scout camp over the summer and well a pony ride with someone else holding the reins didn't appeal to him... guess he's growing up...

Ryan had to warm up to feeding the animals... he's a city boy... what can we say...

Tarwater Fall Festival

Today we got to carve pumpkins with the boys, then they displayed them as part of the schools fall festival (a fair to raise money for the school).

Here's Ryan with his jack-o-lantern
