Our October Tradition: Nelsons Farm

Our girls (Aves was actually standing behind there, just kidding)

The trebuchet being loaded with a bowling ball to be flung about 100 yards, that was exciting.

Then they went right to panning for marbles, or actually, Dad panning for marbles, that is thier favorite thing to do at the Farm is to bring home cool marbles!

Heading down the hill in the soapbox cart

Riding the train, what a bumpy ride

So it was terribly muddy on the hayride to get out and pick our pumpkins so we decided to just grab some at the front! Finding the perfect ones to take home and they did!

She loved holding onto her pumpkin, didn't want to let it go.

Claire wanted to desperately ride the carriage as we were leaving (sobbing), extra money for that! :)

On the little kidos train ride, first ride for Claire by herself! They actually took them partly around the corn maze out of our site!

Baby calf shivering in the cold, poor guy.

And to top the day off... a little hot cocoa, yummy!

Our 4th trip to the Nelsons Farm on Saturday was a bit chilly in the late afternoon. I thought, as we left, "oh we will be fine", did not bring gloves for the girls and thier hands were about to fall off! What an awful mother, what was I thinking?:) Anyways, we made the best of our trip choosing pumpkins, riding on trains, watching the trebuchet, panning for marbles and seeing the farm animals. What a great place to go during the Fall months. Can't wait to see what Aves is going to be like at the farm next year, running all over I am sure!
