Center Grove

Normally we have family night on Wednesday nights, but this Wednesday Joel was getting together with a student for his birthday, so we had a "family day" instead.  It was fantastic.  We've wanted to take Benjamin to Center Grove Apple Orchard all fall, and we have either been busy or too tired the last few weeks.  

Well, today was the day!  The weather was perfect, and other than momma being a little too pregnant and easily tuckered out, and Benjamin starting off wanting to take a nap (at 10a.m.) it was a great morning!  Benjamin loved it, and I really want to take him back when he's not so exhausted.  The animals were a great distraction from his sleepiness, and my only disappointment was that the hay rides weren't running.  Benjamin was VERY  excited about the tractors.  He loved the goats, and could have hung out with the horses forever.  He's never been interested in pigs (books or live), and the roosters cock a doodle doo scared him a little bit.  He handled the slide o.k., but the biggest hit, for him and Dad, was the maze.  Benjamin loved running around looking for Daddy, and the look of excitement when he found him was worth the admission x 10.  

His legs were noodles by 11:30, and he just wanted to be held and lay on Daddy's chest.  We took that as a cue to head on home!  It was only a matter of minutes before Benjamin was zonked out in the car.  He even slept through Dad taking his vest and shoes off before putting him in bed.  This was a great opportunity for Joel and I to get a nap too!  Overall it was a fantastic day!  Here's some pictures...
