Pickin' and Farmin'

Saturday was a busy day for us. We woke up early and went to the Red Truck Bakery in Warrenton. Then it was off to do some apple picking at Stribling Orchard. Ed and I picked while Tate surveyed the apples we picked.











He even tried to test out a few, but was unable to get a solid bite.


While we were at the orchard, we decided to introduce Tate to the pumpkins.




On a side note: This is Tate's new look.




After we worked a little at the orchard, we decided to head to the various farms in Gainesville for Farm Day. Tate loved the alpaca farm, Double O Good Alpacas. The alpacas were very responsive to Tate. He would point and let out little screams. The alpacas would make snorting noises and run over to us for a little attention.









After the alpacas, we visited another farm, Smith Family Farm, that had cows, sheep, pigs, and a pony. Tate loved watching the pigs, but I couldn't stick around for long. The pigs smelled awful!


Tate also loved petting the pony.




To top our day off, we were able to get a cute picture of Tate in a tractor.




By the end of the day, Tate was tuckered out.

Great pictures. Love the last one and I love his new "look."

I agree with Natalie. I think I would frame that last one.
