Sally goes to the Pumpkin Patch in Del Mar... a fake one

October has just gone by so quickly and we have been busy with school and life and getting ready for our trip to Kauai* so on a Tuesday last week I took Miss Sally to the "Pumpkin Station" in Del Mar for some fun. 

* the trip will be just for the 2 little Thomases Mommy and Daddy as Grandpa Maier is coming to watch the girls for a week!!!

Fun in Palomar Mountain with the Phelps Gang

 About 2 weeks ago we drove a couple hours up to the local
mountain (Palomar) to hang out with Nathan Phelps and his family.

On the property is a small apple orchard so the first thing we did upon

arrival was cook up some apple sauce a la Bonnie Phelps!

 Then is was up to the "Round House" property (right above 

the "Square House" land; another story) to meet Buddy the horse.

Sally was a little unsure but we did feed him some apples and he did not bite us...

Buddy, not Nathan

 Picture perfect Sunday

 After some fun at the Round House property we went over

to a neighbor up the way that has her own mini farm that consists of 

chickens, sheep and goats.  She sells her eggs and goat milk products and sheers her 

sheep and makes her own yarn.  What a trip eh???

 Truthfully I was not a fan of holding this dirty little sheep at first

 Mary and Sally sitting patiently waiting for the chicken to 

take its egg back.  They really thought they could give the egg 

back to the chicken.  They waited, and waited and waited....

Click on this photo of Sally to enlarge it so that you can 

get a good look at that heart shaped face and those stunning blue eyes.

What a little cutie!!
