Sunflowers for Wishes 2013

Cioci Kimmy came over this morning to watch AJ so I could go in to work early so this afternoon we could make our annual trip to Buttonwoods' Sunflower for Wishes Festival.

We treated the kiddos to some chips while we waited.

Then it was off on the hayride!  These piggies were going all sorts of crazy and running around..
 the kiddos loved them!

Then we made our way to the cow pasture where a baby cow was nursing.

Moo!

The kiddos were able to grab some hay from the trailer and try to feed the cows.

_MG_9863
Katie was successful in feeding the cows.

AJ was getting frustrated because for some reason they didn't want to come near him!

_MG_9867
But he tried again... along with all the other kiddos.

_MG_9870
There he is.. coming in for the straw!

Although Maddie isn't tall enough to feed the cows, she was enjoying watching them with Mommy. 

_MG_9876
Bye cows.

Watching as the tractor drove us from the cows to the sunflowers..

_MG_9882
There they are!

Hanging out after the hayride while Cioci went to get the stroller for Maddie to sit in.

Look at Miss Riley's face... priceless!

_MG_9893
Too funny!

_MG_9896
Couldn't resist taking some close-up sunflowers pics as we entered into the field.

_MG_9918
Loved how this one wasn't quite ready... still such a beauty though.

Then we attempted the annual pictures in the sunflower fields.

Clearly it wasn't going well for me.

The closest thing to a 'normal' picture of me and AJ in the field


_MG_9922
I then tried to calm him down since he was so hyper by showing him some sunflowers....

_MG_9932
But he still wasn't interested in taking a cutesy picture with Mommy!

Cioci and Maddie

A very smiley Katie and her Mommy

_MG_9935
AJ was digging the kid-sized sunflower.


_MG_9941
He even tried to smell it.. although his smelling consists of blowing out air 
from his nose rather than inhaling..silly boy!

9372091737_927da5497d_o
Sunflowers and friends.

9372092085_60159e5613_o
Katie and Allie wanted a sniff too!

_MG_9945
One last sunflower pic with a bee on it before we left to go get some yummy ice cream!

The kiddos were literally running to the ice cream stand from the field... love this picture!
