Wildlife Safari Park

This is a very late post, but I'm on vacation and trying to get all caught up! 
 
In August, I think, we took the girls to the Wildlife Safari Park.  It is near Mahoney State Park, so not too far from our house.  I took Lily when she was 2, and this was Avery's first visit.  It was Jason's idea to go, and I knew he would like it.  You spend most of the time in your vehicle driving slow and looking at all of the animals.  We did park this time and got out and went on a little walk to look for the bears and wolves.  Avery was not a fan of this, and I tease her to this day about being bad and having to go live with the wolves.  We saw one bear and no wolves, but it was just nice to be outside doing something different.  It is pretty cheap...we like cheap entertainment!














Lily's Preschool Field Trip

Lily went on her first field trip of the school year 2 weeks ago.  Her preschool class rode the schoolbus to Wenninghoff's Pumpkin Patch.  It is a much smaller pumpkin patch than Vala's, but very cute and she had a blast with all of her friends.  I had a meeting that morning for work, but I'm very thankful to another mom who snapped a few cute pics of little Lily bit!

Vala's Pumpkin Patch 2013

Jason and I took the girls to Vala's on Monday evening after Jason got home from work.  We knew we wanted to go during the week to both save money and avoid the crowds.  It was a perfect night to go!  It was crisp and cool (which is a must for this mom to go to the patch), and we saw the entire place in less than 3 hours.  No traffic and no lines!  The girls had a blast, and so did mom and dad!  The fall is my most favorite time of year and I love, love, love going to the pumpkin patch!  I don't even do most of the "stuff" there, but I just enjoy the atmosphere and I especially enjoy the smiles on my babies faces!

They said their favorite things were the big white slide, the Haunted House (Lily), and the Cave (Avery).
 










































Until next year...
