Tate Farms

HAPPY FALL!
We celebrated last week - i'm very behind in pictures - by going on our first ever visit
to Tate Farms. Ya-Ya was visiting and we couldn't wait to share this experience with her. There was so much to do...

Lillianna volunteered to be the official greeter.


We concluded she has hope of being taller than her Mom one day.


They had the coolest pumpkins...just look at those colors.

And of course, take note of the beauty in the middle of them.


Lillianna would have made her Papa James proud, jumping behind the wheel of the the plywood John Deere as fast as she could.

Giddy-up horsey!


So this was the best moment. Lillianna froze, truly froze, in absolute adoration of the soft bunny.

She hasn't stopped talking about it and we just went to a pet store this morning so she could see some again. But this was the first time I think she felt that feeling of loving something smaller than you.

"Here you go goat. I don't understand why you don't want to eat right out of my hand."

"Wake up Piggy."

Tate Farms had 5 or 6 "CornCribs" which Lillianna thought were pure heaven.

Actually so did Mommy and Ya-ya. They were alot of fun.




We can't wait to go back next year!

Seeing those pictures, Carroll Lane, only made me yearn to be with you all and let my feet wiggle in the corn kernals. The pictures are great and I truly appreciate you not publishing any of me in the corn bin. I had a one in a million day with you on this visit to Tate's farm. (My name sake!) Love you all. YaYa
