.Prairie Gardens: Autumn Adventure

20141011 prairie gardens (72) edit

In a world where you never go anywhere fun because you always have other responsibilities or plans or your child is always napping or your husband is always sick or your extended family is always busy, it can be difficult to find a Saturday to just GO and spend together at the corn maze/pumpkin patch/farm. Sometimes you just have to pick a day and make it work.

We happened to pick the windiest day there ever was, and one of those days where Ames just really needed a good long nap. Despite all that, it was still one of the most fun days we've had in months! haha This is the second year we've gone to Prairie Gardens & Adventure Farm and we absolutely love this place! We were really happy that Air’s family could come along with us this year too.

We started out in the little petting zoo because we all know how obsessed Ames is with animals:

These little goats are so adorable and its hilarious to see them walking up and down the ramps onto the rooftops. Goats are the best.

↓↓↓Then something pretty terrible happened… Ames got pushed (by a little boy) off the platform of this little playground and landed on his back on the ground about 4 feet down!!↓↓↓

Most of the rest of the day was pretty emotional for him… Amesy+no nap+getting hurt=one sad boy! He was really clinging to his Daddy (I don’t think Air minded one bit).

↓↓↓We took his mind off it by going on a train ride. Another one of his favorite past times↓↓↓

Then when we went over to watch the pirates shooting off the pumpkin cannons, Ames couldn't handle the loud bangs and he went to sit with “Gwomma” and fell right to sleep on her lap… THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED!

He slept for a little while while we wandered around… and then Tam and I went through the sweet haunted house together and I almost peed my pants and went into labor at the same time when some kind of creepy hanging skull started moving right in front of my face. haha

I do miss going to awesome haunted houses every year growing up.

Thank goodness we found a day to go again this year! These are the kinds of things that make life worth blogging about right? haha

How fun! Man, did you knock that little 4 year old out?? What naughty little brat! Did the parents tell him to apologize or anything?? I remember when Logan got bit by a 4 year old (before he turned two) and I was pissed! That is waaay to old to behaving that way. Aaron's parents are a gorgeous couple! Can I look like that at their age?? His dad has lost a lot of weight! I hope and pray things are well for you guys. Can't wait to see pictures of the new addition!
