Fall Fun at the Farm!

This year we decided to forego our usual trip to Hillridge Farms and try out a smaller, closer farm for some Fall Fun!  There was a living social deal to Phillips Farm (in Cary) so that sweetened the pot even more.  We went there today for some Family time before daddy left for PA.

It was just the right amount of stuff to do for our little crew.  There was the corn maze that we did first.  Luckily there was a scaled down version that took about 15 minutes (instead of the hour + for the large one!)  As I have no sense of direction in there, it was a good thing Daddy came too since the mini version could have taken us a hour!

Brighton's silly face on the tube swing!

There was also a hay ride and a cow pull.  There were slides and swings, and a maze made with hay bales that the boys did no less than 5 times in a row!  One of my favorite things was the corn "sand"box.  I'm not a fan of sand boxes because boys + sand = bath.  The corn just shakes right off, but has the same effect.  Maverick was quite content sitting in the corn, and tried to sneak a few pieces in his mouth when you weren't looking.

Brighton could have swam in the corn all afternoon!  He came home with about 1 cup of corn in his britches.  That boy is so silly.

Here's another picture of my little sweetie sitting on the giant hay stacks.  He tried eating the hay too.  He also did a face plant in the hay and wasn't too happy about that!

Another fun thing was the pedal go-karts.  Both mommy and daddy had a turn with Brighton in our laps since he wasn't quite big/strong enough to pedal one alone.

All in all, we had a fun afternoon there.  They even had a small snack shack and we were able to get some BBQ sandwiches for dinner....yum!
