A Mere Farm

Cherry Hill was originally a fruit farm that has been owned by the same family since 1924 and operated as a camping resort since 1967. It once rendered the name "A-Mere-Farm". I thought that it was a pretty neat fact. They still sell fruit pies there from their "Pie Pantry" too!

Me and the girls drove there with Grandma on Friday. They really enjoyed it. Alona really loved the Pirate ship, especially the wheel. Bigger kids didn't seem to care much for the presence of her or any other younger child. They came up and turned the wheel the other direction of what she was going. She was determined to hold on while screaming because they were taking away her fun and overpowering her. She kept ahold of the spoke that she was trying to turn while a bigger kid came and turned it the other way, she ended up on the other side of the wheel screaming blood oozing from her mouth. She had lost a piece of skin that connected her lips and gums. After a bit of comfort, she was the one that kept asuring me..."I'm okay, it'll get better!" I felt awful I made her take a picture before cleaning her up, she was a good sport though. She refused to go down the slides, though the water was very shallow, she couldn't be convinced to go down.

Abbi really liked to run off whenever we were trying to do something different. She really enjoys saying "Hello, Helloo." She is really good at talking to strangers, so she would go up to them and continuously greet them. But when it comes to people that we know she couldn't be more silent. Of course she didn't want to eat her lunch at lunch time, so it was about 2:00 before she decided that her corn dog would taste good, two hours after being cooked. The part that she liked most about floating on the tubes probably was the mule. Every time that we would pass under the bridge that had the mule she would say "horse, horse" in her cute little voice. She enjoyed sitting on top of the tube especially next to her sister and holding onto the handles. I think that she will be a good swimmer, she is a water baby! She is really good at kicking in the water and is not afraid.

There was a small jail at the side of the pirates cove Alona really enjoyed hanging from the bars.

Then of course there was me, I should have listened to my own lesson that I gave to my children about sunscreen and worn it so that I didn't get burned by the sun and have owies. I shall suffer the consequences of my actions. Oh boy am I.....
my camera did not do it justice it is actually much more red than it looks, and my front side that was not covered by the swim suit is not pretty either. Probably the shoulders are the worse. Hopefully I will learn! But yay!, did you see my belly much more there than in the Lagoon pictures though the ton of extra weight (20 lbs. already) that I have gained might have something to do with that. Kacen will come out addicted to sugar if I don't mend my ways!
