Bauman Farms, October 2, 2010

We were able to share a "first time" experience at Bauman Farms with my friend Angela and her family.  It was their first visit to the farm, and it was our first time witnessing the helicopter pumpkin drop.  Here are some pictures from our day!

This alpaca looks all sweet and innocent, but just after this picture was taken this alpaca went and started some "poop" with the geese and caused quite a ruckus!

The geese just after the alpaca incident.  Is this enough geese for a gaggle?  Anyway, this is the goose gang.  Don't mess with them!

This goose and I were trying to figure each other out.  The gang came up to the fence where we were standing acting all tough-necks shaking and squawking like no body's business.  They did like to be called pretty birds.

David made friends with the two calves in the animal barn this year.  They are such sweet things.  Sometimes (only sometimes) I wish I could have a cow in the back yard.

They both wanted attention.

Pretty bird!

David's happy face after shooting an apple canon.  I think everyone should have one of these...

The Strehlow family!  Angela, Avery and Dave.

David enjoying one of our new favorite things-the apple slushie!  (Sara & Ben, we can't wait to introduce you to these!)

Pretty lil pumpkins!

This is the beginning of something awesome!  This helicopter is lifting a HUGE pumpkin.  In a few moments it is going to let go of the pumpkin and hopefully drop it into a kiddie pool.  It. Was. Awesome.  We saw it happen three times-David has video footage we'll post at some point.  :)

Avery really liked this hay bale dragon, so it seemed like a good time for another family picture.

We had a great time!  I think we'll be making a few more trips to the farm-and I can't wait!  Hope you enjoyed the photos, I'll post more from any other trips.
