Farmland Adventures

This year we broke from tradition and decided to try a different venue for the annual pumpkin patch excursion.  

We loved it!  It was less of a pumpkin patch and more of everything else, so we'll probably still visit our favorite patch, McGarrah Farms.  

Farmland Adventures was more about the animals and corn maze experience than an authentic pumpkin patch.

The girls got to go on pony rides.

They got to see lots of different animals at the petting zoo.  (Not that either of them actually wanted to PET the animals).

They got to go on a Wagon ride and feed chickens and cows tortillas (well, after Eliza tried a bite of her own tortilla).  The driver said they don't do hay rides any more because so many people were allergic to hay.

We enjoyed the morning with our friends, the Quinns.

The girls' favorite spot was probably the corn box.  Much less messier than a sandbox.

Even Daddy got in and joined the fun.

The "easy" maze.

The "mini" corn maze.  We didn't even try the big corn maze.  The mini was adventure enough for us.

One of my favorite parts was the pig races.  Guess what they use to motivate these chubs?  

Oreo cookies.

And for your enjoyment, a little video of the races.

Let the Fall Holidays begin.  I love this time of year!
