Another Adventure with Aunt Kathy

A-B-M in front of the barn where we each were given an apple and we bought yummy homemade donuts

inside the corn maze

The corn maze was amazing.  We were almost out, and then realized we were completely lost and had to back track and ask for directions! I forgot the snacks in the car so the kids were  grumbling most of the way and fighting over who got to be in THE LEAD!  Good grief.  Overall, a good time!

pile of hay bales to climb on and through (tunnels) and around -  All 4 kids are in the mess

feeding the goats

This goat was hilarious.  You could buy feed (our kids just picked the extras up off the ground), put it in a buckets and crank the bucket up to him on the platform.  But he was impatient.  He would pull on the strap even if you weren't cranking it - he wanted his food!

Jessica in the smaller pen feeding the goats

There was a tube slide out the back of the goat barn that landed in a pile of hay.  There was a small silo with shelled corn in it that you could play in with buckets and shovels.  There was a small track and tricycles to ride around.  There was also a tractor drawn wagon ride out to the corn maze and back.  Most of us walked, but a few took the ride back.  Normally, we could have picked apples, but all the blossoms froze this spring so no apples. On the walk back to the farm from the corn maze, the walking group found about seven apples on all the trees they passed.

But possibly the highlight - The Cow Train

Its a 4 wheeler pulling barrels of various sizes so adults and kids can ride.  Notice Maria is in the front car, an adult car, and I'm way in the back in a kid car - CRAZY!  But it was so funny.  The barrels have legs, tails, heads, and you just roll and bump along.  Jessica laughed the entire way.

And this is the front of our house with autumnal decorations as described by a friend.

The Martha Stewart way

With the Eburg touch

Just some of the fall colors we see around here. It has been GORGEOUS.  There are so many colors and so many trees.  Its beautiful everywhere.  We were told its because there are more maple trees here.  Who knows for sure.
