Girl Day @ the Red Barn

Afton earned some bounce back passes for babysitting so the girls invited a few of their friends to go play at the Red Barn Fall Festival.  It was a lot cooler than it was last time we were out there, but they ran around enough that they were warm enough until we left.

Afton brought her friend EmmaLee

Khora brought her friend Maleena

Bonnie brought her friend Sister Rundell

 The girls picked out pumpkins this time.

Finally got these two to sit down long enough for a picture. They had fun together.

Bonnie said she was freezing to death so we bundled her up for the ride back. The silly girl makes me laugh.

They were sold out of apple cider doughnuts so we came home and had hot cocoa instead. It had turned pretty chilly by that point.  It was such a nice afternoon together with the girls.

Red Barn Fall Festival

The boys had Fall break this week so we started it off with a trip out to Rowley's Red Barn Fall Festival Wednesday afternoon.  We left as soon as the boys got home from school.  It was so much fun with so much to do out there.  There are apple launchers, a giant slide, giant hay bale pyramid, the pumpkin patch, giant sand box with scoop tools, an apple crate maze and cool bikes too.  

 We had time to get some ice cream and/or apple cider slushies before our ride left to the pumpkin patch and corn maze.

There are three different size corn mazes and each one has a game you play inside the maze. The large one is clue. You find stations that are hidden throughout the maze which include a suspect, tool and place. It turns out it is not that easy to do. The kids and Dennis completed their list however. They have been open three weeks and Wednesday was the first day they had any group complete the game with all 6 clues. It was a lot of fun.

When we were coming home we saw two sun-dogs in the clouds. Beautiful!  

We didn't pick out pumpkins this time, we'll save that for later.
