Ramseyer Farm

Last year was perfect.  This year was mostly perfect.  The weather was good… mid-70s and sunny.  The people… were overwhelming.  We went on a Friday night last year; this year, we went on a Sunday afternoon.  I think next year, we will choose a Friday night again.  The lines were noticeable, but not unbearable.  There are enough things that the crowd spreads out between all the activities.  At any rate, we had fun, so it was a success.

The girls started with the corn crib slides, followed by the spider web.

They stood by the sign to see how tall they are. They both grew quite a bit since August; Ellie continues to be just a bit taller than Madison.

Then, we did things like milking a cow, running the rat race tubes and the hamster wheel.

We did other favoriites like the hill wiith the tunnels and slides, and the pedal vehicles

We had a great time on a new area of the farm – the Tires… tire swings, big tires to look at, tires to climb over, tires to balance on, tires to walk on, shredded tires.  It was a lot of tires.

Before we went pumpkin picking, we took advantage of a few more photo ops

And finally (after more playing in the corn crib) we picked some pumpkins.  Pictures did not go so well – Madison really didn’t want to be close or touch Ellie if she could help it.  They were tired and hungry by the end.  I am guessing we won’t have time to carve these pumpkins, but we’ll see…

Hoping to get one more blog in this month with trick-or-treating coming up this weekend. Until then…
