If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll notice we like to venture out there a few times a year to enjoy the sites and splurge on some high-calorie sweets and drinks. When we took Drew last fall to pick our pumpkins, he was a bit too small for the children's Cow Train. This year, he enjoyed the ride in my lap with daddy in the cow next to us. Although nervous at first, he loosened up quickly as we pointed out apples, pumpkins, corn and other farm staples.
After the train ride, we ventured through the corn maze, then hiked back up the hill to the petting zoo. Obviously that couldn't be missed as we all know about my son's love affair with animals. Yes the goats were a hit as always, but petting the baby ducks and llama were an unusual experience one doesn't get to do often.
Then it was finally on to the best part. They call the cider from these farms "liquid gold" for a reason. It's absolutely amazing both over ice and warmed up in a mug, and nothing pairs better with it than one of their famous apple fritters. Derek and I have one each time we visit and Drew has officially joined this tradition chowing down his first apple fritter in record time.
Needless to say, we all enjoyed our weekend adventure and can't wait to go back in a few weeks to pick our pumpkins out!
Looks like you all had a wonderful weekend! :) I love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to take Raegan to the pumpkin farm....Fall is my favorite time of year.....I'm so looking forward to doing fun outdoorsy things!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cow train....HILARIOUS!
What a great time! I love the pic of Drew chowing down on his fritter. :) I can't wait till Fall weather arrives out here (which will most likely be around December *sigh*)!
ReplyDeleteWe have been talking about how excited we are to go to the Louisburg Cider Mill in a few weeks and get some cider donuts, and also take pictures of Chloe with the pumpkins to compare to how small she was this time last year. I love that Drew is now sharing in your traditions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment! Do you live in Cleveland? I thought I saw some mention of that in one of your posts. My mom lives in Cleveland, so I've visited several times. :) Your little one is a cutie! I can't wait to take Jade to the pumpkin patch this year and do all kinds of fun fall activities.
