Parky's Farm

First I just had to include this picture because it looks pretty good. Usually someone is not looking at the camera, moving and blurry, etc. Dad makes a great pillow by the way!

We ventured to Parky's Farm one Friday a couple of weeks ago for some fall fun.

Sean found a playhouse.

Teresa took a nap.

Sean wanted his picture next to this sign. (He has some construction vehicles and accessories that include lots of different signs, so he notices the real ones too.)

Watching apple cider being made on a machine over one hundred years old!

Getting the corn off the cob....

...then grinding it.

There was also a play barn with slides, ball pits, ramps, etc.

On the wagon ride.

Teresa was awake for the wagon ride. She's such a good sport and is generally very easygoing (easy for me to say since Dada put her to bed tonight! haha)

It was a beautiful fall day.

Another video

This one is from the Stanford game a couple of weeks ago.

The pinwheel flag bike parade

This is from a while ago, but I think it is worth watching.

Stricker's Grove

On Sunday we headed to Stricker's Grove, the local amusement park. Sean had a great time, although he was exhausted from not napping for two days in a row. Teresa was fine in the sling most of the time.

First up, of course, was the train ride. We saw the train going around the perimeter of the grounds as we parked our car, and Sean absolutely flipped out when he thought we had missed the ride. It took a few minutes to get him calm and to explain that we had to find the station to get on, and then we would ride. Phew! We finally made it. (A snow cone on the way seemed to help - it was in the 80's here!)

Teresa rode along in the sling, one of her favorite places to nap.

Next was the Ferris wheel, which Sean also really enjoyed.

Here they are in the helicopter ride - can you see Sean's hand waving? (It's very hard to take photos of people on moving rides!)

The carousel was also a favorite. I'm surprised he didn't pick a blue horse, since every other thing that day had to be blue, including the snow cone! :)

And finally the racecar.
