Farm Crawl 2011

So last year we did the Farm Crawl for the first time and I loved it so much I ended up "begging" my husband to do it again for us this year. So after church we ate our lunch out to one of the farms...the kids fell asleep. Last year we went to four farms this year we went to three and with the kids sleeping they actually only went to two. It was a lovely day and we had a fun time. We went to the Orchard first (because last year we went there last and there was hardly any apples!) We ended up getting 1/2 a bushel of Jonathan Apples. We have been eating them or making them into stuff or freezing them.
We went to the Pumpkin patch and got the kids up (of course they weren't too happy about that but they got over it.) But it was a wonderful time! We got some pumpkins and some pictures of the kids (mainly Aspen) with the pumpkins. After all Z doesn't really like his picture taken...and I can't really get them to take a picture together at all. UGH...someday it will happen. Below are some pictures from the patch.

Then we went over Dan-D Farms and they have animals, slides and more...they have a corn maze (but we didn't do it) Z liked climbing on the hay bails. Aspen enjoyed being in the stroller eating an apple. Here are some pictures of the farm.

 Then we headed home...it was a wonderful weekend to welcome October!

FARM CRAWL

So I really wanted to do this last year (but Rick was doing his 1st away rotation). So when I saw that they were going to do it again this year...I sent it off to Rick and said I would LOVE to go to THIS! So we looked ahead and tried to figure out what farms we actually wanted to go to...there were 7 farms included in this one "crawl" the nice thing is that it's all FREE admission. There were different odds and ends you could buy at the farms.
We went to 4 of the 7 farms. And here are the Pictures from the different farms. :)
