Old McDonald's Farm

The last weekend in October our small group from church went as a group to Old McDonald's Farm.  This place has lots of fun fall activities: hayride, pumpkin patch, corn crib, corn maze, animals, and a huge slide out of a barn!  We enjoyed getting to spend time with other families from our small group.

They were both unsure about the corn crib at first . . . took them several minutes to warm up to the idea and then Amelia didn't want to get out!






lounging in the corn

Amelia's first trip down the slide was a bit scary


so the next time Daddy went with her- after that she wanted to do it by  herself . . and she did . . like 100 times!









Luke wasn't too sure at first- look at his little hands stuck out


Amelia kept saying "I swide (slide) again!"


this time Luke went with Daddy and he wasn't soo scared


in addition to hayride out to pumpkin patch they had a ride where the kids got to sit in saddles

would of been a nice picture except guy taking it didn't tell me I was half hidden behind Amelia- oh well

we also took some time to play in the leaves- I tried showing Amelia how to jump in them but she didn't seem to get it- she just wanted to run around










They had these awesome inflatable horses- Dan and Amelia had a blast

Luke even took a turn with Daddy




Amelia wanted to jump on this little on by herself but she just wasn't quite big enough grab the handle and understand how to make it jump with her legs


so Daddy took her out again and showed her how to get some air


then we took the hayride out to the pumpkin patch- at this place each person could get one small pumpkin for free


we had to walk quite a ways down the pumpkin patch to find any small ones left . . . but we found some

Amelia picked out her own pumpkin

she tried carrying it back to the hayride but it was pretty long way

so Daddy carried the pumpkins- pretty neat to be picking pumpkins out of the patch right in the mountains

Luke fell fast asleep

Daddy loves getting pictures on the tractors




my favorite :)



more playing in the leaves














Amelia was so wiped out that she cried all the way out to the car as we were leaving.  So we gave her a snack and headed for home.  She barely finished her snack and I turned around to find her completely passed out!


We will definitely be visiting Old McDonald's Farm again next year!
