Hee Haw Farms- October 2012

Last October we made a family trip to Hee Haw Farms- a local pumpkin patch with tons of kid and family oriented activities. It was so great- we were there for practically the entire day, and they had so many fun things to do- we didn't even get to do them all!

We started out our trip with a good long play in the corn box. Our girls are HUGE sand box fans, so obviously, this was a total winner:

And just in case you wondering: corn kernels are waaay more uncomfortable than sand when getting them stuck in your shoes and/or items of clothing! Ouch!

Kyle and Minnette had  a lot of fun having duck races using water pumps:

There were a lot of animals at this farm, including a couple of GINORMOUS pigs...

... And one very tired looking mommy pig. I think I would be exhausted if I had 10-12 babies climbing on and feeding from me all day, too! It was quite the sight to see, that's for sure.

There were chickens to pet:

and chase:

Baby pigs to corner:

 And even calves to snuggle (is that not one of the sweetest things you've ever seen?!):

 They had a fun pig chase for 2-5 year olds. The first three kids to hug a pig won a prize, and Minnette was actually the third one to hug a pig- it was just too bad the judges didn't see! So after this we decided to all go get ice cream to celebrate Minnette hugging a pig!

Aurelle was originally hesitant to go down, so we were so excited when she finally decided to go down with Mommy and Minnette!

They had a tractor ride that everyone got to have a turn on:

 And we didn't get any pictures, but we also went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and back, though we ended up not even getting a pumpkin since they were cheaper at the grocery store!

They had pony rides for $1, and Minnette decided that she wanted to go. Here she is giving a lady her dollar:

 She was a little nervous at first and wanted me to hold her hand, but after a few seconds she was able to ride the pony all by herself!

This was such a fun family date- one that we will most definitely be repeating next year (and the year after!), we had such a blast!
