On Saturday we made our second trip to
Maplewood Farm, this time for a birthday party. Once again, this wonderful little farm in North Vancouver, less than half an hour from our home,
delivered. The rain held off, the light was good, and the toddlers were even semi-cooperative with my photography attempts!
The adventurous birthday boy enjoyed getting up close and personal with the goats,
And my timid girl was very brave and even attempted to feed the ducks right out of the palm of her hand.
(Hands were washed before cake was consumed.)
This place might just have magical powers: Our visit there brought me to a whole new level of acceptance that fall is here, and it's really not such a bad thing. The photo ops alone might just be worth the cold and the rain!
Lovely shots, looks like fun. So good to see Lilah happy and smiling, healthy.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I'm wishing for fall over here now! I love Lilah in her outfit and her little yellow polka-dotted boots. Cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots - particularly like the shots of your little one walking down the pathway and the one of both the toddlers doing the same, oh and the one of the duck being fed. Great raincoat and boots too!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! That looks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos! I love the actions ones the best.

ReplyDelete@StashaThanks, Stasha. Yes, I always forget when she is sick that a lovely period of health and good attitude usually follows!
