Autumn Fun at the Farm

So we went on a little trip on September 24th to Rhode Island farm to check out the corn maze. I figured the kids would like the hay ride and maybe 5-10 minutes of the maze before they were sick of it. I was wrong! Joseph was excited and helped "navigate" us through the maze. Okay, most of the time the kid figured out a way to make a giant loop in the maze but that helped us eliminate wrong turns.

Hay ride! Kid had more fun watching the tractor pulling us then anything else

All of us together

You find little signs with trivia questions and use the hole punch on the right answer on your card.

After successfully going through the corn maze we rode the hayride again and watched the cows as we went by. There was a calf "BABY COW" that Joseph had a blast pointing out. We then went through the pumpkin fields and tried out the kiddie maze made out of hay bales. Joseph figured out pretty quick that he could easily go over the walls and Zachary enjoyed playing in the hay and using the bales to stand up.

We took some silly pictures and Joseph provided the sound effects for us:

Then we wandered around the picked pumpkins and let Joseph tell us all about the "baby, mommy, daddy punkins" he saw.

To finish our trip we bought some blueberry black currant jam, butternut squash, and spaghetti squash. The jam is delicious and the squashes were perfect for dinners during the last week (spaghetti squash cooked with meatballs and sauce one night and butternut squash soup with garlic and onion another evening). The kids had so much fun and we are definitely going to have to go back to Cucumber Hill Farm again. Especially since Joseph keeps asking to "go to farm" at least once a day!
