Hillridge Farms

Yesterday, Brayden & I went to Hillridge Farms with our friends Chris, Kristin, & Brian! It was the perfect fall day and we all had a lot of fun!

We enjoyed a picnic lunch before going into the farm




There were lots of animals to see including a llama, bunnies, chickens, fish, ducks, goats, & ponies.


The boys (plus their mommies) got to play in a big corn box for a few minutes as well. The corn box was like a sandbox, but was filled with dried corn instead.


Brayden really seemed to enjoy playing with the corn, even though he also wanted to eat it. Then Chris & Brian and Brayden & I went down a giant slide. Brayden didn't seem to mind the slide, but it was rather bumpy for me.

Wheeee!!! That was fun :)!!!


There was also a train ride, haybale maze, pony rides, and a bounce house. Because the boys are still a bit to young to really enjoy any of these things, we opted out of them, but did stop to wave at the train as it drove by. They boys enjoyed seeing the train and will probably really enjoy the train ride in a year or two.

The best part of the day was the hayride to the pumpkin patch! The hayride goes all over the farm, past lots of old farm buildings and crops.

Then you get to pick out a pumpkin to take home! We got lots of great photos of the boys in the pumpkin patch. Brayden was much more interested in crawling over and playing with all of the pumpkins.









*Thanks Chris for sharing your photos of Brayden!!
