Maine Maple Sunday

Yesterday was Adam's birthday, but he had to work. The kids and I were on our own for Maine Maple Sunday, so we decided to meet up with my mom and Tara and visit some farms together. We actually made it around to three different farms. Each one had a little something different, so it was fun to visit more than one. The highlights for the kids were the hot dogs at the first farm, the horse-drawn wagon ride at the second farm, and the huge ostrich and peacocks at the third farm. They even each went home with their own peacock feathers, courtesy of Grammy. (Don't worry - she paid for them, not plucked them!)

   

We got back to my mom's house at just about the time Sophie was due her medicine, so we did it there. Sophie enjoyed showing off the whole process to Grammy and Tara. Sophie and Ben both fell asleep on the ride home. A day of brisk fresh air worked like a charm to tire them out. They both had a great day, though, and were really excited to tell Daddy all about it when he got home.
