halloween weekend part 2....

today we received a phone call at 8:30 am telling us our house was going to be shown to some renters between 9 and 11. yikes! we frantically cleaned and showered. then we decided to go to the love creek orchards pumpkin patch in medina, tx. we had so much fun! the girls ran through the hay maze at least 3 times, and climbed and ran on the bales of hay for an hour. after all of that hay we went to the petting zoo on the farm and petted goats, rabbits, horses and baby chicks. the girls loved the chicks. they were enclosed in a circle of hay bales so the kids could get in and pick up the chicks and hold them. it didn't take anna long to overcome her nervousness and just grab them and pick them up. she loved holding them on her lap and petting them. she even made some little nests for them with the loose hay in the circle. ella did a really good job holding one on her lap too. she even gave it a few kisses. after the chicks the girls got their faces painted and then we headed home. tomorrow (or i guess today) we are hoping for a nice, relaxing day!
