High Rock Nursery Pumpkin Farm ~ 10/6/11

This is a pretty cool pumpkin farm.  It had hayrides, an apple cider press, a corn pile, a few animals, a corn maze of Davidson County (there were 17 points of interest and at each one you had to answer the question it asked about Davidson County), and of course it had a pumpkin patch.

 

It was fun to watch the boys walk around and pick up a pumpkin of their choice.

Davis was pretty interested in the stem.

Once Davis picked his pumpkin he wouldn’t let it go.  He tucked it under his arm and that’s where it stayed the whole time we were on the hayride.

The kids really loved this corn pile.  They played and played in it and did not want to get out. It was interesting to walk in.  I took my shoes off and walked in it and got a foot massage.

 

Dustin was trying to bury the boys and they were laughing.  Jackson tried to crawl out, but Davis just laid there.

 

They all sat on the hay bales so we could take their picture.

It’s so nice that the boys are walking.  We did not want to carry them around this maze.

Forsyth County Fair ~ 10/5/11

We went to the fair again this year.  The kids really enjoyed it because they were a little older, and I always enjoy going as well. 

Abby fished and caught a fish the first try, so she won a prize.  She picked out this princess wand that lights up with all different colors.  She was pretty excited.

We went through the farm animal section where they were shearing sheep, feeding them, and washing them.  The roasters were going at it the whole time we were in that exhibit.  Abby wanted to pet this bunny, its fur was the softest thing I have ever felt.

 

The petting zoo area is the most popular area for the kids. This year Davis and Jackson were able to walk through by themselves, and help feed the animals.

I stayed outside with the strollers while they went in and I heard Abby crying.  Amber said a goat came up and took her plastic bag with her carrots in it and ate it and the carrots.  That’s a goat for you!?!

There’s no way we could ever get away with not taking Abby on the pony rides.  So once again here’s a picture of the two of them with the ponies.  Davis is watching.  Maybe next year Davis!

She really loves them!!

Dustin is taking Abby on the Ferris Wheel.

WELCOME AUTUMN !

I love the Fall season with all the rich colors, the crispness in the air and the promise of hot cider, almost everything pumpkin, and warm hearty meals.

And of course Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
