.at the adventure farm

I love the fall… I wish that when fall was over, we could just start over again with another fall… and then another one, and another one, and just skip out on all of the other seasons every year. That would be my idea of a perfect world. But ah! Where would all the leaves come from without a spring? Ok so maybe we just switch between spring and fall. Is that do-able?

One of my favorite things to do in the fall has always been corn mazes and pumpkin patches. Especially big farms that have it all in one place (plus a butt load of other things on top of that). We’ve been going to Prairie Gardens Adventure Farm every year and we love it. I see no end to this tradition in sight …unless we move away of course.

The first thing we did there this year was a hay ride around the enormous parking lot. Woo! haha

 

We took pictures of the babies with piles of pumpkins.

 

Ames went crazy for all the random toys they have scattered around the whole place. Busy busy busy little three year old he is.

Petting zoo loaded with goats of all shapes and sizes.

 

They have live music and playgrounds and beautiful yellow leaves falling everywhere.

Cute Tiana had endless fun on the swing.

I think Ames’s favorite thing was the bouncing piggy pen… haha!

 

He made it look like so much fun—Tam, Jake, and Tiana had to join in. haha

Teepees are beautiful, aren’t they?

And then we entered the corn maze…… (the kid sized one, at least)

 

Um this corn maze is easy peasy, but it really is just the perfect amount of walking through corn for me.

Then we played some more…

 

Finally our Hatch cousins showed up for our big turkey dinner picnic! (ps. this was Canadian Thanksgiving weekend) We rented a picnic site and so glad we did, it was way way fun.

Oh my goodness, so much delicious food… AND PUMPKIN PIE! (someone went a little crazy with the whipped cream)

Oh Alice, your eyes…

After we were stuffed we ran over to watch a pirate shoot pumpkins out of a cannon clear across a field at a pirate ship.

…and just like every year, Ames hated every loud banging second of it, but we forced him to watch for as long as we could. Maybe someday this anxious little guy will MAN UP!? haha joking

Here he is plugging his ears as we finally walk away.

I love little goats so much. These ones go up and down ramps to the rooftops all over the farm.

And for the grande finale of the day, we all got a treat from Air’s Mom. Yum

Thank you to Air’s family for coming with us again this year! Loved it and love you!
