A Day At The Farm

We went with my parents to Ardenwood Historical Farm. It is a real working farm that has been around since the early 1900's I believe. We had a picnic lunch, and then went to enjoy all this farm has to offer. One of those things was the corn fields. One side was popping corn and the other was Indian corn. You pick as much as you want, and just have to give 1/2 of it to the farm. The rest you keep for free. We actually got to keep all of the popping corn because the container was full.

We all had a good time picking the corn, even Paige. But it was really hard to get some of the corn off of the plants. And Kayla did not use a glove because she wasn't going to pick any corn, and she ended up getting some paper like cuts on three of her fingers. We had to pay a visit to the first aid center.

After we got our corn we explored the farm and saw the animals. They have people dressed up like they did back in the day (Kind of looked Amish). It was a big festival so there was lots of music and cider and other fun stuff. When Paige was getting close to nap time, we headed over to the pumpkin patch. Paige has been talking about pumpkins ever since we turned to the October page on the Calendar. She sees her picture in the pumpkin patch from last year and wants to keep going back. She fell a lot in the corn fields and the pumpkin patch, but she is such a trooper. It was so cute seeing her go from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to pick them up. Of course they were all two big.
