Fall Fun on the Farm(S!)

Daddy took three days off of work this week since he's been traveling so much and we had an absolute blast!  The kids got to visit not one, but TWO farms in one week for Fall Festivals.  We visited the famed Cox Farms on Wednesday and then went to Ticonderoga Farm on Friday with Adam's class for a field trip.

For those who are not local, Cox Farms has an amazing Fall Festival with tons of slides, animals, food, a corn maze, and more pumpkins than you can shake a stick at.  We had great weather this day.

The slides are the kids' favorite.  Maybe Daddy's favorite, too.  That's Adam cheering for Daddy in the foreground.

This photo pretty much sums up the day...Phil and I racing to keep up with our slide enthusiast.

Kids weren't a huge fan of the goats this year, so Daddy had to pick up the slack.

Just kidding...right???

How cute is this girl?  She walks everywhere, now, and just got herself a pair of beautiful pink Minnie Mouse shoes.  Girl loves her some Minnie.

This was the biggest and favorite slide.  Adam was so excited that he was big enough to slide in his very own lane this year.  As you can see, though, Daddy is having all the fun on this one.  (You can sort of see Adam behind Phil's arm.  Totally stealing his thunder.)

Mama and Clara loved it, too.  Clara kept asking for more slides!

Then, two days later, was Adam's field trip.  He got to go to a farm AND ride a school bus.  Don't know which he was more excited for.

First bus I've ever seen with seat belts.  Someone loved his ride to the farm.

Hello in there, Mr. Goat.

Mama and Clara on the hayride to the pumpkin patch.

Both kids got to ride a see saw for the first time (that I can remember).  Clara now walks around the house chanting "up and down, up and down, up and down."

Lovin' life.

The slides were again the highlight.

Adam enjoyed his last slide of the day with his teacher, Ms. Young.  She is great and so much fun.
