All this for a hayride?

Tonight we visited Linvilla Orchard. It was a fun time WHEN.WE.GOT.THERE! Mental note to self, NEVER.EVER!!! try to go to Linvilla on a Friday night at rush hour!! Estimated time to arrive at Linvilla... 51 minutes, actual arrival time... 2 hours 3 minutes after we left our home. Patience was not a strong suit!!! Part of the lack of patience was wanting to get to Linvilla, have fun, and get home in time for the first pitch of the Phils at 8:37 (5th game of the division play offs). Wow!! What a long ride, but once we got there it was a warm environment. It had two market type shops to buy yummy foods, lots of scarecrows set up, and don't forget lots of pumpkins hanging around! We met Aunt Melanie and her friend Amy with her 3 year old son Vincent. About five minutes after we got there Aunt Melanie got there... her traffic was as bad as ours... (Amy was lucky because she lived nearby Linvilla.)

Waiting with our PINK tickets!

We got on a hayride to visit the nice witch. The hayride was nice! It was fairly long and for our $8.00/person we got to visit a nice witch who told some silly jokes, and gave us all a pumpkin cookie. Yum! We then got dropped off to enjoy toasting a marshmallow over an open fire with a cup of cold apple cider! Yum! Neither of my kiddos wanted to toast their marshmallows and ate them cold. We all enjoyed the cider! Aunt Melanie bought some yummies from one of the markets, and then we all got ready to go home! We switched Morgan's cars eat and her overnight things into Aunt Melanie's car and gave hugs and kisses. RJ was very sad that he wasn't going too! Next time it will be RJ's turn!

Thank goodness it took 50 minutes to get home and RJ and I enjoyed some quiet time before putting him to bed. Daddy was working so it was just he and I!

I sat down and watched the Phillies game. Unfortunately the offense just couldn't get it together and they fell to the Cardinals with a score Cards 1, Phils 0. We ONLY needed 1 run to tie! I felt disappointed, but I think I will be rooting for the Cards from here on out. They proved that they are the come back kids! I hope their good luck keeps up! Phils, I still love you... whether you win or lose I will ALWAYS be on the band wagon!
