Schnepf Farms

So in all my 12 years that I've been living in Arizona, I've never been to Schnepf Farms.  It's a working farm in the FAR east Valley in Queen Creek, it's like 40+ years old I think (I'd look it up, but I'm in lazy Sunday evening mode... and The Walking Dead is starting soon).  The news I watch in the mornings goes out every year - they help sponsor it - and I've always wanted to go.  Well yesterday we went.

I went with my sisters, Lennon, my dad... his lady friend and some of her family (youngest daughter, granddaughter, and niece).  It was SO MUCH FUN!  I'm surprised we stayed there for 5 hours, and that Lennon did SO good without a nap during that time.

My favorite part was the U-Pick Pumpkin patch, the fact that it's a REAL working farm (they have different fruits/veggies to pick year round), the sunflowers they had growing, and that it was a great escape from the city.  There was SO MUCH to do, like SO much.  We probably did 45% of what the farm had to offer (pumpkins, food, ponies, petting zoo, a few rides and the corn maze).

Lennon's favorite part was the pony ride.  Her horse was named "Patches" but she renamed him "Bo" (after my sister Becca's dog).   Actually any animal that happens to be black and white is renamed Bo, wether they like it or not or Lennon knows they have another name haha.

Movie Night

So according to Foursquare, the last time I'd checked into a movie theater was November 2011... so I figured I should probably change that!  Tonight my baby sister - well if 21 is a baby anymore - and I went to The Hunger Games premier.  I had bought tickets a few days ago to ensure we would in fact get to see it.  Upon arrival at the theater, we noticed the big line that wrapped through the parking lot.  Great.  We were hoping there would be a lot of people dressed up to watch to pass our time with, but there were only 2 girls wearing "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" pajamas... my sister - who has NO filter - shouted "The Lorax was a few weeks ago babes!".  I laughed so hard :P  Anyways, we played Draw Something to pass the time (add me if you want, bleigh25)... which we ended up being in line for an hour... then stood in the concession stand for 30 minutes and got decent seats in the theater.

THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME by the way!  The people in our theater though, seemingly had never read the book... so their commentary was NOT awesome.  Oh well, it was fun going to the movies with my baby sis... it had been a minute since we have done anything just the two of us.

Now I'm going to watch "The Only Way is Essex" and pass out in bed... Night loves!

Disneyland 2011

Sorry I've been absent the past week and a half.  Last week [Sunday - Tuesday] we drove to California to visit my little sister that's working at Disneyland.  It was SO much fun, but was too short of time.  We spent the majority of Monday at Disneyland and California Adventure, but with a 16 month old nobody really gets to go on the rides they want to.  But it was still so much fun!  Lennon did really well.  She had a few meltdowns, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be.  So without further adieu, here are the pics I took during those 3 days...
