Bloomsbury Farms

It's Friday, no preschool & Grandpa Jim is in town- what should we do to entertain us today?

Let's go spend the day at Bloomsbury Farms! It was a perfect day- it was warm, a little breezy, but warm, Bloomsbury wasn't busy at all-- huge plus!! and they were having a special $2 off today so it was only $5 a person to get it, that's a bargain! (it's $9 on wknds & $7 on wkdays) It was a great day & the kids ran & played all over!

When we got there we stopped by the cute little gift shop & tried some super yummy fudge.... had to get some of that to take home!

Then we stopped by a couple wooden cutouts- How Tall This Fall? (C is the tallest, it's hard to get them all to stand still for a pic)

Then on to a hayrack ride and running thru the kids corn maze. Then stopped a bit for some lunch.

The big slide was a huge hit. The kids really get going fast!

We also stopped to pet & feed some of the animals, jumping on the big pillow and swinging on the big tire swings.

The kids favorite part was the duck racing trough. They were all pretty wet by the time we left, but they loved pumping the water to make the ducks go to the other side.

It was a really fun day & everyone is pretty tired....everyone should sleep good tonight, including G'pa!

Bloomsbury Farm~ it's a Pumpkin Patch & More!

Last Saturday we took the kiddos the Bloomsbury Farm. It's a farm about 45 minutes away that has so much for the kids to do. We decided to go after nap, which only gave us a couple of hours to spend at the farm (at 7:00pm it become the Haunted Corn Maze) we definitely could have spent more time there. On the way we picked up both Grandma's to join in the FUN!

When you walk in they have a sign: How tall this Fall

I thought it'd be great to get a picture of the kids & we could compare each year- they weren't cooperating. (They also have a sign when you leave: "Please leave with the same number of children as you came with" I should have taken a picture of that- I thought it was funny!)

Those funny cut-outs for the whole family. I think Nanna got a pic with everyone looking, but I don't have it on the computer.

There were Barnyard buddies: goats, donkeys, chickens, cows, pigs and more for the kiddos to see. Fun trikes and tractor toys to ride around on. Austen giving Brooklen a ride, too cute! First, he checks to make sure she is on & then off they went.

There was the great Bloomsbury Barrel Train Express that the kids LOVED!! We had a tough time getting Austen off! A corn maze. I couldn't believe how tall the corn was, I'd bet 11 feet high- no kidding! Then we ate dinner at the Pumpkin Grill cafe, picked out our pumpkins (sorry, I didn't get any pictures of that, the kiddos were kind of ready to head home & all going in different directions). It was a lot of fun & we can't wait to go back next year!
