The Simple Life...

On August 7th we visited the South 47 Farm in Redmond, Wa to get a taste of the simple life we've been missing out on while living in the city. It's a u-pick farm with tractor rides, a petting zoo, crafts and a bean pole maze (the smaller version of a corn maze). We had so much fun! It wore the kids out too!

The tractor ride. Ethan loved it, Sienna cried and tried to get out the whole time.

Ethan found it more efficient to uproot the plant while picking the squash.

The bees on the sunflowers - such a different reaction between boys and girls. Sienna giggles while Ethan yells to scare them away. In case you were wondering, bees are not scared away by yelling at them.

Such helpful children. Ethan and Sienna collecting little orange flags that help remind visitors to stay out of the corn. Yes, I did put them back:)

Hey Julie! I stumbled across your blog. So cute! Your kids take great pics. Love that they were so helpful with the flags ;) Jayci would be just as helpful I'm sure.

OK, so I can't believe how much Ethan looks like you and Sienna looks like Jeff. Do you agree? They are gorgeous regardless. Good to catch up with your family!
