Roger’s Family Farm

On Saturday, the 22nd, we spent the day just north of town at Roger’s Family Farm.  It is a small family farm that is does a neat corn maze (we didn’t do this, though) and fall fair during October and November.  I’d heard good things about it from other moms of little ones.  There were a handful of places hosting similar activities, but not all were quite as family friendly as this.  We were not disappointed in the least!

They had this fun play-place sort of thing set up and, of course, the kids had to climb through.

Tommy wore his hat for about the first ten minutes. It was pretty cute while it lasted.

Maddy’s hair was pretty statically-charged after coming down the slide.  Tommy panicked after entering and didn’t end up making it down the slide.  He just came back out the entrance.

I love this picture of Maddy going down the slide.  It was a pretty neat homemade tube slide.

Looking down from the platform at the top.

Tommy coming out the slide.

Daddy waiting at the top of the stairs.  They did these slides a few times.

Maddy!

Tommy!

This was pretty cool.  It was a huge air-bouncy thing.  It seemed to be a somewhat permanent fixture.

They both had a hard time staying on their feet—especially given that other people were jumping and launching them up.

Daddy lounging in the background. Poor Maddy was launched off of this and bumped her head, but she survived.

Pony ride!

They had a stationary pony outside the ring for photos.  Tommy was okay to sit here and watch Maddy go around the ring.

Well, for the first 30 seconds.

Maddy was a pro as she’d done this a couple weeks prior with Grandma and Grandpa Tegen.

She also took a photo on the stationary pony.

Then it was Tommy’s turn to actually ride.

He sat down, but once it started walking, he freaked out and Lance had to take him down.

This was a cute little “ride” that the kids went on…

Well, they both sat in…

Once they started moving, Tommy once again freaked out and had to be pulled out.

He was much happier sitting with daddy as Maddy continued on.

 

 

 

 

 

Next was feeding goats.

Tommy wasn’t sure about it, but as long as daddy was holding his hand, it was okay.

 

Maddy was brave, too!

Trying to figure out how the food came out.

Not sure what he was saying here, but a cute picture!

This was cute.  They had a little feeding thing set up to feed goats up on the roof of the shed.

You put the corn in a dish which you had to crank up to the goats.

We took turns turning the crank to send up the food.

Pumping water to send rubber duckies across the trough.

Maddy was giving Tommy some tips.  (Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, Aaron was sleeping in the carrier the whole time I had him in it.  Technically he’s in every picture I am. )

The hayride stopped at a section of the pumpkin patch where smaller pumpkins had already been collected for the kids to take.

After the pumpkins, we traded kids lol

Maddy wanted to sit with daddy, her pumpkin, and Aaron’s pumpkin

Tommy wasn’t too concerned with where he sat.

Waiting for daddy to bring lunch

I finally took Aaron out of the carrier so I could sit and eat.  He wasn’t thrilled about this.

Finishing up eating.

Cute

Our almost family picture. I’m surprised Maddy and Tommy stayed put long enough for me to hop in!  We had a fun day and hope to make this an annual family tradition!
