Weekend Fun Part I

Seeing as we had to be out of the house for two hours both Saturday and Sunday, we were determined to make the most of our time.  After running a few errands around town Saturday, we headed in the direction of C.N. Smith Farm in East Bridgewater.  The place was packed, which was not surprising since it was a VERY hot September day.  We did have the dog with us, and because we had to leave him in the car, our trip was very brief.  We quickly looked at the animals they had around, mostly goats, and realized that there was a little goat just wandering around.  Connor had no fear and walked right up to her and pet her.  She was very gentle and let all the kids pet her.  As we made our way toward the other animals, we noticed that they had horse rides for $5.  Connor loved it when we rode horses in July, so I jumped at the chance (AND there was no line, so I didn't have to worry about Bailey).  Connor was an old pro and didn't even need my help balancing on the horse.  He looks like a natural on a horse, so if anyone wants to get him the ultimate birthday present, a nice little pony would be great. 

After the pony we stopped by a table with a children's Halloween book for sale.  The author and the star of "There's a Moose on my Broomstick", Willie the Moose, were autographing the books, so I bought one for Connor.  We don't have very many Halloween-themed books around, so this was a good one to add to our collection.  Connor was not too enthused about meeting the life-sized moose, so we weren't able to get a picture.  Oh well!

Once the book was purchased, we quickly went inside and picked up some beat up apples (for applesauce), cider, and of course, cider donuts.  Connor's lunch was his cider donut, which he gobbled right down on the way home.  I don't blame him - they were good!

Bailey was a trooper and was a very patient dog for the 15 minutes we were at the farm.  For a reward, he got his very own bite of a cider donut. 

Stay tuned for Sunday's activities!
