We had a very fun autumn family outing today. We went to Linder Farms where they tons of fun activities for kids. It is the location of one of the corn mazes, though we didn't do that part. We did do a ton, though. Troy and I went on a barrel train ride, pulled by a tractor. It was bumpy and fun, and actually quite a long ride. Then Troy rode a pony, which, I'm pretty sure, was his favorite. He's so funny. Even though we know he's having the time of his life, he has such a straight face almost everytime he does something super fun like this. Then we went through their "petting zoo" where they had a small barn of several animals that we could feed and pet. They actually had some surprising animals, all which included: a camel, pot-bellied pigs, kangaroos, goats, sheep, a pony, llama, a yak, and bunnies. Later tonight, Chad and I were surpised by all the animals he remembered that we had seen. All of them, pretty much! After the animals, Troy took a ride on the swings. He had the whole swing to himself even!

Kickin it with Coop. He had fun today, too!
Last but not least, we took a hay ride to the pumpkin patches to pick out pumpkins. I've never done this, and neither had Chad. It was a new experience for all of us. Coop was snugged up with me in the Bjorn, and Troy trommped through the patches behind Chad as he searched for the best pumpkins for us. Coop and I picked a small but perfect one for Troy (perfect size for us to carry). We should have gotten a little bity one for Coop just to include him, but didn't. Coop had quite a time himself, smiling and laughing on and off the whole time.

It was such a fun evening. I've been wanting to get outside in the perfect fall weather and enjoy a fun family activity like this for quite a while. I'm so glad we went. Troy talked about it the rest of the evening. :-)

When we went to Linder Farms (we got rained out so we missed out on most of the activities), Carlee was saying, "A...A...Animals!" for days. She had tons of fun there too! I can't believe how big your boys are getting - they're so darn cute!
Sounds like lots of fun! We had a blast there too and not too expensive like some places. Troy is so funny with his serious face, like he's being tortured to go on those swings.
