Grandma O' and Aunt Sorcha's Visit- Part 1

Mom and Sorcha came to visit us this past weekend!  We had so much fun with them, it was so sad to see them leave today.  It seems like we did a lot in just a few days, though.  On Friday, we spent the morning hanging out...

Wren checking out the presents that Grandma O' brought.

Reading and eating new books...

Candy bag!  

She got all sorts of neat stuff, but it seems that the contact paper roll was the best toy of all.

Later that afternoon we went to Apple Works... 
and tried a bunch of apples....


 bought some caramel corn....

played around in the pumpkin house....

 visited the petting zoo....

admired the leaves...

found some neat pumpkins....

and took lots...

and lots...

and LOTS of pictures!

We had a lot of fun at the apple orchard.  It was a beautiful fall day.  We ended up buying some super yummy Splendor apples, apple dumplings, and caramel corn to share... Wren even tried an apple!  She is so funny... she tries a piece of apple, makes a face like it's the most disgusting thing in the world, but yet she goes back for more!  Haha, I don't think she quite knows what to think about this whole "trying food" thing.  Cracks me up.  Anyway, there is also a little petting zoo there, so we strolled around a bit checking out all the different animals.  Wren seemed to be enjoying herself, until we came to the cow.  Poor baby.  That cow let out a long, low moo and freaked Wren out!  She cried and cried and cried.  You can kind of see her sad face in the picture up above of her and Sorcha by the cow.  I think the pic was taken just as the cow began mooing.  Too funny.  She was a little apprehensive of the rest of the animals after that.  Before we left, we ended up having an impromptu photo shoot with Wren and the pumpkins.  She loved it!  She was picking up leaves and slapping pumpkins, having a great time.  I think between Mom and I we took like 100 pictures!  Our next stop after Apple Works was Nashville in Brown County!  Pictures will have to come later... for some reason I'm having a hard time uploading them.  So I guess this will have to be a "to be continued" post.  

So, uh, yeah... to be continued.
