Shelburne Farms

Friday we decided to have a picnic at Shelburne Farms with my friends Beth, Liz, and Jen and all of their children. The Farms aren't open yet with their normal games and activities, but you can still use the grounds and see the animals. If Quinn and Elijah were actually talking to each other, I think the conversation would go something like this:
"Poor rabbits, stuck in this cage all day."
"Hey, I have an idea. Let's figure out a way to get them out of there."
"If we just separate these two panels from each other, and then twist this one bar..." Elijah, on his first "Tractor Date" with Acadia (quite the movie star in her big sunglasses).
Posing on the apple wagon:
(Quinn 3; Elijah 2.5; Acadia 3)
And here's one with Emma, who will soon turn one:
Trying to get a group shot, but then... Hey, where'd that chicken come from?
(Elijah 2.5; Dianna 3; Acadia 3; Emma 1; Quinn 3)
Good friends, enjoying a lovely sunny day at Shelburne Farms.

Loved that last picture of the four little ones holding hands together.

Also, loved Elijah's Yankees sweatshirt.

Looked like you had a beautiful day!

I like that 4 out of the 5 kids there had names ending in the vowel sound "ah". What does that tell you about name trends in 2007?
Looks like beautiful weather!

Very cute pictures... I foresee the final pic (of them all holding hands) in a yearbook one day!
