Applewood Farms

We visited Applewood Farms last night. They have sort of a winter wonderland during the holidays. There are real-life reindeer. And there are some of the animals that would have been in the manger with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus; a donkey, some goats, a horse, a pig, and a duck (not sure if a Pekin Duck would have been in Bethlehem).

Our goal was to ride the train and see the Christmas light display. Although she was very serious, Katherine enjoyed the train ride. She also enjoyed her first taste of hot cocoa in the barn following the train ride. They had some toy trains set up in the barn everywhere you looked. We all had a good time.

Here are some pictures from our evening. The seats on the train were quite cold, so Katherine was initially taken aback. Mommy and Daddy soon buffered the cold seats for her.
