fall fun

I love the fall...it's my favourite season.  School has started, the weather is perfect, the trees are pretty, what's not to love?
 
We visited an apple orchard on the weekend but there was no apple picking this year due to low crops (the trees blossomed early with the warm weather in March, the froze when the weather turned cold again). But there's still plenty to do on a farm in the fall...


Jillian missed our weekend farm trip because of a mystery fever.  All was well on Monday morning when we headed to yet another farm for her grade 3 field trip to learn about soil and do some experiments along with the wagon ride and corn maze.

they've been in the same class for grades 1, 2 and now 3

After her field trip it was off to yet another farm for Jillian's riding lesson (if you are keeping count that's 3 farms in 3 days for me!).  The weather was so nice they rode outside which meant much better pictures than last time.  While I enjoy living close enough to the city to enjoy museums, art galleries and downtown life at times, I also love living close to this...

Leah hates dogs but she sure is loving the horses at the farm


 Leah had a turn riding on Boo with Jillian back to the barn
how many kids does it take to brush down a horse? 
If they are my kids it takes all three apparently.  I love that Kyle and Leah are enjoying spending time at the farm while Jillian is riding.  Kyle even gets to help Jessica out around the barn and getting the equipment ready.
