Hillridge Farms

Last Sunday (after we did the fair on Saturday), we invited Grant's brother and his family and his parents to join us in going to Hillridge Farms. It is a big farm with tons of stuff to do (hayrides, train rides, pumpkin patch, etc). We just knew that Drew would love it and we wanted Olivia and Drew to be able to play together there. They both loved it and held hands quite a bit while walking around!

The first thing we tackled was a bounce house. Here is a video of them jumping, jumping, jumping (and Olivia - falling, falling, falling!):

There were lots of animals to see here, as well:

There was a maze that the kids were so cute in working together to figure out how to get out to the other side:

Here's Grant, Drew, Olivia and Chad being goofy:

They got to run and jump in the hay:

And, of course, we had to do the train ride. They REALLY loved that! Here we are waiting our turn at the station:

A nice family shot of Chad, Becca, Drew and Emma:

And a nice family shot of us:


Here we are on the train:

Check out Grant and Olivia coming down the 80 foot tunnel:

Then they got to play in the other tunnel on the ground.

Check out this video:

We also got to do a hay ride out (and back) to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins to bring home. Apparently Olivia granddad fear is all gone. She rode both ways on his lap and was his pal all day! Here they are being silly together:

What a BIG pumpkin!!!


We actually got a cute picture of the two of them sitting still!

We had another great day - very busy, but very fun! What a crazy weekend it was - but it was a good kind of crazy! I'm glad all the Nelson's were able to come join us for the farm. Maybe we can make that a yearly tradition!
