We wanted to do something really festive for fall so we went to the reindeer farm!! No they do not raise reindeer to later become reindeer sausages, it is a wildlife refuge where they get to live out their days.
They also had ponies! Chloe got to pick which one she wanted to ride.
you can see tiny Madeline on my chest.
She also got to feed the ponies,
go on a hay ride pulled by a tractor,
and run around in a hay maze...you can see the tootsie roll bandit behind them. When you catch him in the maze he gives you tootsie rolls. This kid took his job way too seriously--- it was almost impossible to catch him (annoyingly so).
Luckily Chloe finally "caught him". If she wouldn't have, I guarantee Andrew would have made sure Chloe got her tootsie roll one way or the other.
We also found the lollipop clown in the maze. She was definitely Chloe's favorite part of the maze.
Back on the "hay ride"
We also went to the pumpkin patch where Chloe picked out our pumpkin.
for the most part Chloe just ran around like a crazy person....truthfully we did the pumpkin picking, or more accurately pumpkin "selecting".
If you look closely you will see we "picked" this pumpkin......but it is from Washington, via Costco. I guess they don't grow pumpkins up in Alaska.
A nice group shot....you can see it was pretty difficult to slow Chloe down long enough to get a picture.
Amy, Dustin and Annabelle met us there too. Amy is one of Chloe's all time favorite people, so leaving without her did't go so well......even though we we just driving in separate cars to go to lunch.
Treats do go a long way to keeping the peace.
Maddie all bundled up from the cold, and ready to head back home.
I think this will probably be a new halloween tradition.

hahaha that picture of Chloe upside down is awesome. And so is the last one of Madeline. Looks like you need to do project life too :)
From the look on Chloe, you are going to have to buy her a pony.
