Fall Farm Festival

This weekend, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed to the farm!  It's so nice to be able to take advantage of so many of these awesome activities that are so close to home.  So we loaded up the car, headed out of the suburbs and immersed ourself in farm country for the afternoon.

Our first activity was a tractor ride!  We hopped on the hay bales and toured the farm while being pulled along by a big tractor.  Riley got the front seat and loved every minute of watching the tractor roll along.

Next up was the activity center - we played in trucks, scooted down slides, bounced on tires and got lost in a corn maze.  BiBi and Zee were corn maze experts and found their way out without cheating like we did.

After all the activities, we headed to the fields to pick our own Indian corn and pumpkins.  We climbed through the corn stalks to find the best colored corn and then meandered through the pumpkin patch to make our selections.  Riley picked out a baby pumpkin that he wanted to bring home and then enjoyed crawling in the dirt to help us find a few more pumpkins to bring back. 


The last part of the afternoon was heading over to the apple orchard to meet Stacey and Brad.  They were picking apples for an apple pie that they would make later (which was delicious) so we bought a bag and filled it up for home.  There were different kinds of apples to choose from so we walked down the lanes tasting each of them and then filled up the bag as much as possible.

The evening continued with pizza, snacks and football and everyone had a great time!

And don't forget to tell about the part where there were too many apples for the bag so you started stuffing them in your shirt!

A fun time was had by all!

I think that Riley should think about working on a farm when he gets older. He looks like a natural!
