Schnepf Farms

Today Grannie and Grandpa took us to Schnepf Farms. Sarah came to this farm last week with her class and had a great time so we went back with the whole family.

Sarah was our tour guide.

Schnepf is pronounced just as it's spelled.

In Schultzville we pronounce it Schnap!!

extra emphasis on the 'ap!!'

This is one of Sarah's really fun contributions

to the language we use in Schultzville.

We say Schnepf the way she use to sing the

song about the aligator 'schnaping'

the monkey right out of the tree.

Schnap!!

We could not have asked for better weather.
It was in the 80's, sunny and breezy.

We got off to a slow start. There were lots of photo ops when we first arrived and then daddy had to run back to the car for Kate's sunglasses (above, Sarah had given her glasses to Kate.) It was breezy and dusty so we all needed glasses.

While we waited for daddy we took some more pictures.

Then we found the carousel.

Kate likes the animals that go up and down.

Sarah prefers those that do not move!!

This is a hay maze. They had little John Deer trikes for the kids to ride through it. Sarah jumped on and took off, pig tails blowing behind her. When she ran into a traffic jam of empty trikes, she jumped off her bike and hurdled to the front of the line and took off again. What fun!!

Then we watch the pig races.

Here is Sarah doing her pig call.

Next we found the Honey Bees.

That is Jeff and Sarah in the back.

Today, Katie Grace went on her first roller coaster ride.

Grannie escorted her.
That's Kate in the center with her arms in the air.

Here they are after the big ride.

Kate is asking if she can go again.
Gran says they are the 'Wild Girls'

because no one else would ride with them.

Another photo op.

Here's Gramp with the girls.

Grandpa got the girls really cool lollipops.

Sarah enjoyed hers in line for the train.

Here are the boys on the train.

And Kate's other 'first' today.

Her first train ride.

Sarah coming off the big slide.

She came down as a chicken this time.
Note her wings.

And here are dad and Kate.

Poor Kate is too small to ride the swings.

Sarah rode the swings on Thursday with her class.

She HATED it and cried the whole time.

Kate wants to go really, really bad

but you have to be 42 inches to ride.

She's just 36.

Ah, a nice rest at the end of a wonderful but dusty day.




We took home three wonderful pumpkins,

several pounds of dust (in our lungs)

and two very tired little girls.

It was a great day!!
