On the way there, we saw (at least) 50 of these windmills... They are crazy huge and are almost scary to look at. I'm pretty sure that is a house next to the closest one.
At the orchard, there was goat feeding:
And lots of hand holding:
There was jam! (Why do I get this excited and have to share with pictures??) I bought some pumpkin butter!
Bus driving:
Teeter-tottering:
Lots of kissing:
And flower picking:
All the ingredients for a great day!
In other news, Congratulations Becky!!!! My cousin just found out she is cooking up a little person due April 2010!! God bless!!! (and while we were saying prayers tonight, Addysen prayed for her Hootie [scary owl thing I made her a few months back] and her bears... little sweetie!)
Tanners!!! Did you get cidar???? yummy.
ReplyDeletemy parents live amist the windmills.
yes! and no we did not get any cider and I am kicking myself now. It is sooo good. We plan on going when the pumpkins are out though. and the windmills creep me out. seriously. they are just bizarre.
ReplyDeletei admit the windmills are a bit weird! i'm used to them now - they're everywhere. no cider - bad, bad! landen is begging to go.
ReplyDelete***here comes the routine explanation coming from a person who worked at the Iowa Energy Center**
ReplyDeleteThey aren't wind mills, they're wind turbines - running off of a massive turbine and gear up there on the top. Mills are those things in Holland. And that "house" next to it is a giant power supply thinger with a lot of switches and on-off buttons that controls part of the circuit that the turbines all run on. :)
Renewable energy and energy efficiency!! Yaaay!
