Back to Bottom View Farm

We have been such fans of Jackson's Orchard for three years now that we have neglected to give our poor little local Bottom View Farm another glance.  Until this week, that is.  We are enjoying our second week of Fall Break and the weather is to die for, so we went a few minutes up the road with friends and visited their patch again yesterday. What we didn't expect was all the new fun stuff they have added to their fall scene.  Do you know Noah remembered going there with his cousins back when Anna was a newborn?  That was FIVE whole years ago!  I love that he remembers stuff from when he was that little... only 2 and a half at the time!

Yesterday our favorite stop was the great, big jumping pillow. :D  It was such fun, I can't wait to go back for breakfast one morning after Fall Break and let the kids have it all to themselves.

Noah was also a fan of the tractor track.  They were really fun!

Anna took a liking to the corn crib and stayed in there all by herself until I made her leave.

Noah opted to grab handfuls of the corn and feed them to the goats instead.  That boy sure does love animals.  He had to be pulled away from this area when time was up.

It probably was a mistake to wait to do the hayride later in the day.  By early afternoon the sun was SHINING/beating down on us and it got hot fast.  

Still, we retrieved a few more pumpkins for the porch.  Tomorrow we get together with our field trip group to paint them at a nearby park. :)

We had lunch and then ice cream at the little country restaurant on site and then let the the kids expend what was left of their energy on another turn at the jumping pillow.  By then there was some shade for us mommas and some killer beautiful clouds to adorn the sky.
Just look!

I can't believe we have done two pumpkin patches already ... and both without Josh.  So weird!!
