Millburn Orchards
Our new stay-at-home mom advisor, Sara, suggested we check out a local orchard near her house if we were ever hankering for something to do. This place is a pick-your-own apple and peach orchard, but perhaps more importantly, they have an enormous (FREE) area set aside for kids. There are all kinds of wooden structures upon which to bruise oneself:
A sandbox surely intended for the offspring of giants:
And, most importantly, barnyard buddies to scream at and feed. Lots of chickens:
And lots of goats!
The goats were by far the most entrancing. All that rickety-looking wooden stuff, and the little tykes playset behind the fence there? That's for the GOATS. The white billy goat pictured here walked the entirety of the highest plank for us, coming over from a nearby meadow, because he thought we might be chucking some goat-chow his way. Dada disowned me as a true country girl because I didn't know that farm goats liked to climb.

It was SO much fun. Both Isaac and I were amazed by the goats, less so old farm-hand Dada. And there were little baby goats, too! So cute! Perhaps the most lingering wonderfulness came from the fresh-picked peaches we bought from their stand. OH so good. Even Isaac can't stop eating them.
