After the craziness of our Kohls experience, we went to Oak Glen with my parents. That was a lot of fun and definitely not as busy. I guess everyone else was out shopping and waiting in line?
Elijah got to see some of the animals - Sheep, goats, horses, reindeer, etc. He especially had fun feeding the reindeer and giggled as they licked the corn kernals out of his hands.
For lunch, we ate at Law's Coffee Shop where we ate soup, salad, and sandwiches -- not necessarily in that order. Eliah spent some time working on an art masterpiece while waiting for his food and Natalie was having such a good time that she fell asleep in Papa's arms.
After lunch, there were some fire engines outside (which Elijah was super excited about). We had to go check them out and take some pictures by them.
We looked in all the shops. Elijah broke a dish while trying to grab at a stuffed bear, so we ended up making an extra purchase that we hadn't planned on :) We also went to Los Rios Rancho where they were having the Apple Butter Festival. Elijah threw some apples into a big container where they smashed all the apples and made fresh apple juice for us to taste. Then he peeled an apple that was to be used for making apple butter syrup (a process that takes 3 days)!
At the end of the day, we stopped for some family pictures by the pumpkins.
