Deacon is old enough now that I wanted to take him to an area farm that boasted of kid-friendly, fun fall activities. Things like a tractor ride and/or pumpkin patch, a corn maze, etc. It just so happens there is such a place called Hill Ridge Farms and -- bonus! -- it's 10 minutes from where we have friends living in Wake Forest! So we made plans to come visit them and they were able to go with us to the farm.
And while there wasn't a corn maze at this farm (there's always next year!), there were other fun things for little ones to do, including a "colorful maze". And for the short amount of time we had before the little ones were [subconsciously] ready for a nap, we found plenty to keep them busy!
1) the "colorful" maze -- it was a little wet from rain the night before but we enjoyed it anyway
2) Deacon loves to slide!
3) "driving" the 'cool bus :)
4) a long tube stuck in a mound of hay bales

I think the adults liked this one just as much as the kids! They had pig races (and duck races and goat races) around this small circle track. It was the cutest thing and the kids were right there at the gate when the animals came around. I think they really enjoyed that.

It was a picture perfect day -- seriously, we couldn't have ordered it better than it turned out -- and we enjoyed spending time with our friends out in the beauty of God's creation. We love fall in this household!
