The family had a free afternoon on Sunday (a rare thing these days!), so we headed to Phillips Family Farm!
Both boys were very intrigued by this corn maze thing and wanted to conquer it first!
Kade was our scout and Brock held the map with clue directions at each passport stop.
We let them take the lead - Brent holding the flag in case we got "too lost."
Kade posed at Passport Stop # 6 - halfway there!!
Corn maze complete!!
The farm showed off a lot of cool trucks and tractors - Brent was impressed with this one - Chevy 3500 from the 80's!
The fun park was set up like a carnival - all sorts of games and activities for the kiddos. Of course we gravitated to the pitching one first.
Next thing was the jumping bubble/trampoline! Both boys are in the "big kids" group now!! (one bubble for 7 & under, one bubble for 8 & up!!)
(Sidenote - I guess that is the Phillips Family house behind there!)
Kade was adamant to feed the fish. The pond was teeming with catfish. Do you think some of them don't make it through this season due to overeating.....?? (Some kids were dumping handfuls of fish food in there!)
After Brent showed Kade the mechanics of using ALL your weight (and your hips) to throw the hammer, Kade gave it a try. Three hits - Lil' Fella, Ma, & Sis - not bad!!
Brock was wary of too many eyes watching him, so decided to skip it.
Next up - the mini petting zoo! Look - an alpaca!
We got to pet a bunny, some chickens, a goat, a pygmy donkey, and a little pig!! So proud of Brock because he went in by himself to pet the pig too!
Brent was feeling a bit nostalgic about these tractors - same tractors Mr. Taylor (Brent's neighbor growing up) had when Brent was a boy!
This thing was cool - took some patience - I was the only one to master it.
Lots of people meant lots of lines and we were done. Pretty cool fall activity - but try to go on a day not so crowded!
