We went to Homestead Farm on Tuesday, and when we got there, it was surprisingly cool and breezy. But breezy became windy as a (thankfully brief) storm blew in. We were in the peach orchard when the first drops came down, and if I didn't know better, I'd think Jay had been watching a lot of doomsday tv. He ran between the trees screaming "WE HAVE TO FIND SHELTER!!!
We eventually did hide out in the store, but then it cleared up enough for us to wander around the animal pens and have a picnic. Joining us on our adventure was: my friend Akiko and her girls, Michael Huguely (spending the morning with us while his mom was in NYC), and our faithful sitter Jeni, who found all the good peaches.
Everything's coming up roses now.
Our farm animal tour was fun, including the cutest goat I'd ever seen--it was pitch black. For me to say a goat was even remotely cute is bizarre--I don't care for them at all. They have weird pupils. Really!!
The highlight was this over-plumed chicken. Emma dubbed her "Henzilla!"

So fun!! Wow does Homestead Farm look different in the Summer than Fall! Goat eyes creep me out too!
Wow, that looks like so much fun. How were the peaches? It looks like the kids had so much fun, wish we could have been there.
