Great Lakes Apple Farm - Second Year

We made our way to Great Lakes farm about 3 weeks ago. We love this place! There is so much to do! Apple picking, pumpkin picking, a small but furry petting zoo for children, wagon rides, tractor rides, corn maze and a huge sand box loaded with diggers for children!  We came here last year as well and had Alexis pick her pumpkin out ... shall we just take a look at what she looked like the first time we brought her??

What a little wee thing - I could just squeeze those cheeks too!

Anyways, so away we went for some fun times at Great Lakes. I managed to snap a few photos before my camera battery died (idiot me) so here is what I got of the day.

Fish Frenzy.

So I had mentioned already that we thought getting Alexis a fish for her birthday would be fun for her since she already loves helping to feed her furry sister so off we went last night in search for her fishy friend. We figured we she would be excited to see all the animals not to mention all the dogs popping in and out.

We also had time to check out some of the other animals that were NOT coming home with us! haha ...

Then it was back to the fish business ...

Since we were just using a regular old fish bowl, we were limited as to what kind of fish we could get. After talking to one of the girls there, we settled on a betta fish or commonly known as the Chinese fighting fish. So Alexis picked it out, and it just so happened she picked a boy (we know this because they had separated the males and females onto different shelves) and got some rocks, food, and water conditioner and away we went home.

I must admit, it's been awhile since I had a fish so all last night I was pretty sure he was dying, but so far so good.  I hope he's a hardy little thing! Anyways, please say hello to our newest member of the family ...

Apple.

Clearly Alexis picked the name.  I hope he's around for awhile cause Alexis sure does love him already!
