Jackson's Orchard in KY was the main reason we planned our little trip to Bowling Green. We are so glad we did, too, because it is now our favorite fall farm outing to date. This'll be the one we start doing every year, I am sure.
Highlights included:
The Cider Slider I posted about yesterday.
Cutie pie kids and photo ops.
Feeding the animals.
Anna accidentally folded her fingers in and got bitten by the pony. It was a very dramatic encounter!
I have no idea what you call this, but it was certainly a fun challenge for Noah. Anna wouldn't try it as she was still grieving her unpleasant pony-feeding experience.
Hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Anna, as luck would have it, walked smack dab into the back end of this trailer prior to getting on and it knocked her flat on the ground. She sprouted a giant goose egg out the side of her head. Lots and lots of tears ensued. It appeared the farm was kicking her butt.
Pumpkin patch and corn maze beyond.
We got three more pumpkins there. Anna was not interested in anything but her giant ice pack.
Air-brush face painting - best face painting experience yet! So quick and precise and, most importantly, easy to clean off at the end of the day.
Horseback riding.
Pony riding.
Petting zoo.
Tractor-tire playground.
Add in the perfect sunny and cool breezy fall weather and you have a best of days! I do so love fall.

Poor Anna. She told me about the horse bite while we were in the car yesterday.
I think you did it right by going to Jackson's in the morning. We went Sunday afternoon and it was crazy crowded. The line to ride the ponies was too long so we skipped that, along with some other things.
That front of her finger is not healing well either ... I might run her to the dr if it doesn't look improved any by tomorrow.
Morning was a must! It was so busy by the time we left just after lunch. We had just about no wait time for anything...except the ladies' bathroom.
I busted out laughing at poor little Anna's experience! haha!!! She really was having a hard time at such a fun place to be! :) That place looks sooooo fun!
This is definitely on next year's to do list for us as well. I've heard only great things about it from quite a few 'first-timers'. Hope that Anna's memories of good outweigh the bad - poor thing :)
