WALDEN FARMS WITH THE ALBINS 2015
We found some signs on the side of the road today with directions to a Pumpkin Farm. It was only 3 miles from our house, so we followed the signs and ended up here! It was really a cool place. They had tons of fresh pumpkins - and all kinds and sizes!
They had fun stuff for the kiddos to do. There was this little hay maze for them. They put the bales down on the short side, so that the kids could see, and not freak out.
This crazy little house was actually for the goats! It was 2 story, and if you look closely to the left side of the picture, there is a long pulley system. You can purchase food for them, then put it in a cup. Then you manually move the cup up the pulley and it dumps it out on the top deck where the goats will climb up and eat it.
The goats were all colors too. I have never seen a polka dotted one before!
They had mini pumpkins in this little grass area for the teeny tots to choose their pumpkins. They thought of everything!
I fell in love with this old tree. It was all knarly. Awesome for Halloween!
This little "wagon" was made out of 55 gallon plastic drums. They put wheels on the bottom then pulled it around with a little John Deere tractor. I could see Bart making something like this. It would be a blast for the kids!
They used all of their old corn stalks to make these cool towers. The corn was still on them too.
We had a blast with Kim & Brent. They were as goofy as we are!
This sheep brought me and Kim back some memories of our sheep that we had growing up. "Pilgrim" was smaller though.
Kim fed it everything she had! It wasn't shy at all.
I think Kim enjoyed herself!
In another pen close by there were some baby calves. I thought this one was the cutest, but then again, I think all animals are cute when they are small.
We even went on a hay ride! They had huge tractors that I think Bryce would have loved to drive! The wagons were cool too. The steps that they had on them would fold out so that you could step down. Then when you were ready to drive away, they would just fold all back up.
Here we go! They had wood benches in the middle of the wagons so that you sat in the middle. They were all covered with straw, which made it fun. You are never too old to go on a hay ride.
The decorations were unique. They had a round bale decorated as a spider on the way.
It was really stormy today, but it was nice and cool, and the ride was nice and relaxing.
Along the little drive they had decorations all along the way. See the guy hangin from the tree? Ooooo so very scary.
I totally want to do this one. There was a skeleton swinging in the swing! I gotta remember this one for next year!
Here we are acting scary....for our scary hay ride of course! I guess I was the only one into it!
After the hayride, the guys' had to use the bathroom. I guess it scared the ???? out of them. Brent was constipated and stunk it up...Bart got the short stick this time. lol
There were corn stalks all around the place. Brent got hungry, so he took full advantage of the extra corn laying around.
When we were all done, we were on our way back to the truck when we came upon this weird thing. It came off of this tree, but we don't know what it is? Is it a fruit? Never did figure out what it was! But, took one home with us!
Another fun picture just for good measure.
On the way home, we visited and discussed all kinds of things. Can you guess what we were talkin about in this conversation?
Oh well. I'm just glad that they felt comfortable enough to just stretch out and relax while they are on vacation.
