Since fall finally arrived to southeast Texas, we spent lots of time this weekend outside. Saturday we did lots of yard work i.e pulling 20 year old bushes out of the front flower bed and raking 3 huge bags of leaves. Sunday after church we headed to Old McDonald's Farm. I had passed the farm several times and a couple of friends had mentioned it as a place to go. The kids had a blast, but I have to say I was a little disappointed. Justin is pretty sure all the animals were heavily sedated. Which actually was fine with me since the last thing I want my kids to be on is a new episode of "When Animals Attack, Farm Edition." Besides the sedated animals, the train broke down twice while we were there...once when we were on it. Other than that it was just okay, I miss my Cedar Hill farms in MS though. Next year we decide we were going to suck it up and drive the 45 minutes to the real farm across town.
Since I felt a little jipped, we took the kids to Marble Slab Creamery after the farm.

When we got home, we realized Kinsley's was rotted.

The baby goats were the cutest!

Which is the bigger turkey?
I snapped this shot of a peacock from the train.

These pictures obviously aren't from the farm, but from our house. Which can feel like a zoo most days.
K and London were cold.
Look closely.
