fall fun

today we checked out a local farm to do fun fall farm stuff. this place was crazy. it had all the regular farm stuff plus a ton more. it was like a fair meets farm experience. and there were a gazillion people there. i had read about it in philly magazine and was scared but it was the closest farm to us so we decided to give it a try.

could not get the kids to stick their heads through at the same time.

pigtails in the wind

begging for food. we got homemade chips with cheese and fried mushrooms. see not a normal farm.

but they had normal farm stuff too - apple cider and apple cider doughnuts for dessert.

double fisting

devilish girl wanting to pick flowers

and pouting when told not too.

telling me where to stick it

maize maze! this was caroline's first corn maze not in a baby bjorn.

Q leads the way

the ear of corn he claimed and carried around for the rest of the time there. it's now on our porch with our pumpkins.

cheaters!

getting sleepy / grumpy

but now she has an ear of corn too so it's all better

we made it out! but i would have been totally cool staying in the maze a while longer. it was the one place where there weren't a trillion people with strollers and ugg boots getting in your way.

next up: straw bale maze. Q is in charge.

cheating again! ok not really. pickle and daddy were slow. Q actually navigated us out of the maze.

amazingly this place had the same "how tall this fall?" sign as our old favorite farm in boston.

but neither kid would cooperate

Q was happy to point out the numbers to his sister

on the hay ride

then we selected a random assortment of pumpkins and got the heck outta dodge. the place was nice enough and everything, but there were too many people and it just didn't feel like a farm. we're going to try again next weekend with a different place.
