Tate Farms

After Gracie got out of school on Monday we took a fun trip over to Tate Farms for the afternoon.  Alan took a  1/2 day vacation to go with us.  It was a hot day - almost 90 degrees so a little out of the fall spirit, but lots of fun and much better than rain which stopped us from going the week before.

We got there are started off with the playground/slides/climbing activities and the small corn cribs.

Next we hit up the petting farm - which the girls love and will get all over the animals.  Gracie HATES dogs with a a passion, but will love on a pig all day long - ha!

The jump pillow was new this year and so much fun.  It was like an inground bouncy ball.

Alan braved the hay maze with the girls.  I stood up and watched.  I was thankful they didn't get lost and have to make a call to 911 (did you read about that story in Boston I think).

We did our annual pictures around the farm and had our pumpkin sippys for a snack.

Then it was off to hayride and to find the perfect pumpkin.  I gave the girls the option of 2 regular sized pumpkins or 1 giant one for daddy to carve and since Daddy was with us he could haul around a heavy one.  They opted for a big one!

It officially weighed 26lbs. and the girls had fun pushing it around in a wheelbarrow.

A little more playtime then it was home to celebrate a sweet 2nd birthday.  All in one day - what fun we have!
