Fun on the Farm

Last Saturday, Meredith and the girls came up for the weekend. I had heard about a pumpkin patch in Taft, TN called, Lyon Family Farms. I HIGHLY recommend it for kids of any age. Mom, Shana, me and Gabby, Meredith, the girls and of course Nanny went. When Mom told her how much admission was, Nanny said she would just sit in the car. But when we got there Nanny was talked in to it. The first activity we saw was called the "Cow Train". Basically, it was a lawn mower pulling 55 gallon drums cut in half. When the teenagae boy driving informed Meredith and I we could ride with our kids, Nanny decided she wanted to go along for the ride.She let us know real quick she was getting her money's worth.

So Mom and Shana decided, after much encouragement, that they needed to ride too. Can you imagine the looks we got riding around the farm in that? I cried I laughed so much! After that the girls played in the "Corn Wagon", it was a wagon full of corn kernels,they played on the swings and the inflatable wagon. I was hesistant when Mom put Gabby in the corn wagon, but she never tried to put the corn in her mouth and she had a blast!

Once again.....................

Nanny decided to get her money's worth. I tried explaining that this was a day for the kids, but she would not listen. Later she told me she would have gone down the big slide but the there were too many stairs. She did however actually get lost in the corn maze. We just let her wander for awhile and she finally found her way out. Finally, we got on the hay ride and rode out to the field to pick some pumpkins. After much searching..........................

Gabby found the perfect ones!!!

After the tractor dropped us back off at the farm, we played on the slide some more and went to see the animals. They have a section where they have a few animals to pet and then inside the barn are bigger animals to look at. We had a blast! We also had three, okay four if you count Nanny, tired girls. After bath and supper, they all went right to sleep.
