I hesistate to say that I love fall because I know perfectly well what comes AFTER fall.... WINTER! But, I really do love fall days filled with football, pumpkins, and falling leaves! Just spending the days outside with my family inhaling the cool, brisk air is so worth it!
We spent Saturday morning at Goebberts Pumpkin Farm. This place was crazy! I had been there about 4 years ago. I remembered the sea of orange pumpkins and sweet smell of kettle corn and apple cider. But, what I didn't remember, was the zoo they also had! I was expecting a petting zoo with goats, sheep, and maybe even llama or two. But, I didn't expect to feed a giraffe from our very own hand, see 2 bears and a tiger roaming around a tiny little cage (I am TRYING very hard not to be bothered by this), and see monkeys swinging from branch to branch!
We all loved seeing the giraffe at our eye level! The giraffe would come right up to us and eat from our hands. You can't tell in the picture, but there was also a baby giraffe a couple feet below!
We were feeding a llama from a small plant shovel. The llama's neck was cranked backwards so he could reach our food! Mya was unbelievable brave! It was so unlike her!
Daddy had the brilliant idea to go into the corn maze after other people came out and wished us "good luck". We got about 100 feet in and decided it probably wasn't a good idea! Trust that I have been lost in corn above my head before....not so fun....especially with a 2 year old!
Mya stood like such a big girl so we could measure her each year we visit the farm! She was just under 3 feet.
DORA!!!!! Mya had lots of hugs and kisses for her!
