Down on the Farm

A few weekends ago we went to Ardenwood Farms for their Annual Harvest Festival (our 2nd time--and definitely enjoyed more by Lucas and Addison this year!)

They LOVED (contrary to what this photo looks like!) that they could get on a tractor this time (usually the tractors are not out for kids to climb on).



Then it was off to pick corn...the whole reason for visiting!



We started out picking Popping Corn. Then moved to the Indian Corn.



They really got into trying to pick corn on their own. Indian Corn was a little more popular due to it's colorful nature.









Plus, we got to see the animals and the Blacksmith this time (the kids patience and interest was definitely higher this year). Interestingly enough, they loved the Blacksmith...the fire maybe?? Lucas even asked to go back and see him again. :)

All in all, it was a really fun outing.
