Sheep Happen

Lily and I spent a quiet week together while Cayce finished his class.  We hoofed it all over Andrews.  One day we had to go to the post office, the next it was the commissary, and another day we headed to the thrift store and exchange.  With the exception of two rainy days we enjoyed beautiful weather.

The last Thursday Cayce took his final exams, and the day ended early.  We took the opportunity that afternoon to visit a pumpkin patch outside Bowie, Maryland.  On our way out of the hotel we posed Lily in the lovely fall display.

Where's Lily?

 The first thing we came across at the patch was a pen with sheep just ripe for petting.  It's already been established Lily loves the dogs so it was not surprise she went crazy for the sheep.  

Lily played with the sheep until the sheep got grabby with her shoe.

 Please excuse the poor quality.  We didn't think to bring the video camera, and this was taken with our digital camera.  Be sure to have the volume up.  Lily's giggles are too adorable.

After the sheep we played with the pumpkin display and then wandered in the patch itself.  We found some giants.

Daddy look at me stand!

This thing is big!

Just squeeze right in.

Sitting pretty.

Pretty as a sunflower.

 At the pumpkin patch we purchased some gourds, a Lily sized pumpkin, and my baby - a 40 pound pumpkin.

Thank goodness for the 50 Lb weight limit on Lily's stroller.

It was a fun day. We ended with a trip to a local steakhouse.  I had the most delicious crab cakes made with fresh local Maryland crabs!  Cayce had a cheeseburger.  Lily took the opportunity to tell everyone around us about her trip to the patch.  Luckily we were sitting in what was apparently the "family" section because the section was full of families.  So not only were people not bothered by her conversation, but many were entertained by her.  We then made the trip back to the hotel where Lily had finally figured out how to sleep through the night in her pack and play.  Thank goodness!
