Allenholm Farm

Allenholm Farm with Michael and Nora

    Allenholm Farm
We traveled up to the Islands to check out how the apple trees were doing and what was being picked.  At the  farm the kids went crazy over feeding the animals and chasing the chickens.  Lots of laughter and great big juicy apple grins, a great morning.

                                                                 Michael and  Nora

                                         Had to stop first at the rabbits since Nora has one at home and
                                         could tell Michael all about them.

                                           The chickens and peacocks were fun to look at and some
                                          could get out and run about which were fun to try to chase.

                                         Then it was time to chat up the billy goats and to pet their
                                         soft fur.

                                           A pit stop to sit on a tractor and pretend to be the farmer
                                          was a must.

                                                Sitting together was the most fun for them!

                                           Then back to chasing chickens!

                                          Nora spotted the pony and that was all she saw.  We
                                         bought ice cream cones filled with food pellets and the
                                         kids fed them to the horses, cows, and goats.

                                            Jim got into it and fed the big ugly cow.  Yes this
                                           is what the female looks like!

                                             
                                           The kids stayed farther back from her.

                                            Then off around again to the chickens and

                                       
                                                      over to the sheared sheep.

                                               Nora spent time rubbing the sheep, lost in thought.

                                             Michael found the balance beam and determined
                                              to walk it.

                                            Nora showed him how to do it.

                                                Then they got on together.

                                                   Creeping towards each other...

                                            Sweet meeting with Dad aka "Uncle Jim" to Nora

                                                    Then a ride down the slide to end the morning.




                                              No Macs yet for picking, should  be ready this
                                          weekend.  We may try another orchard to see
                                          what adventures will come our way.

 

                                               
                                            I love the beginnings of Fall!
