We went to a pumpkin farm this last weekend. No deep thoughts, just a few photos. The boys were good and had fun. It was a four hour drive to my parents house, but with the boys we stopped half way to let them run around. I looked up this farm on the Internet, but instead of being my planned one hour stop, it turned into about three hours. They had an awesome play area with wooden shapes for the guys to climb on. They had all sorts of beautiful chickens, peacocks and roosters that DS2 really liked. There was a train ride, just three times around a short lap. Great assortment of pumpkins and gourds. There was a 2 acre corn maze, but we didn't do that.
The real winner for the boys was the hay ride. There was one ride, billed as the Witches ride, which went in the woods and had some scary things that you pass - I don't know, but sounded stupid, and not the best idea for the boys. We did the regular hay ride, which went through the orchards. At the end they dropped us off and gave us free cider, and catch this.... and sticks and marshmallows! There were little fire pits all around where we could roast the marshmallows. DS1 was fascinated by the process of roasting, DS2 was excited by the warm sticky stuff.
The boys almost made it to my parents house awake, but conked out. They had fun. My photos caught them at serious moments, but there were lots of laughs and giggles. For the ender, my favorite photo of the house. This is my mom's dresser which she moved across the country and put all the little bottles and things just like they were. Most of these items I remember for my childhood.
