Ramseyer Farms

We weren’t planning on going.  We had a lot of busy weekends, and it just felt like one more thing.  So, we didn’t even look into it.

Then, on the last day of the season, we got a text from friends of ours.  They said they had prepurchased tickets and wouldn’t be able to use it.  They wondered if we would be able to use them. 

And while there are always things that you need to get done on a Saturday – one of your only free days – you set that aside, and you say “Yes.” 

And your kids cheer!

We invited Grandma Yoh to join us, as is tradition, and she was able to come, too. 

It was not too crowded, and it was as fun as it is always is for both the kids and adults. 

We played tic-tac-toe, brain game with pegs, and the wall game.  We visited the goats and the rabbits.  We did the corn slide, the hamster wheel, and the rat races.

      

And we did the small corn maze … I think in the next year or two we would like to try the big maze.  They estimate it takes about 45 minutes, and the girls just weren’t that into it this year.  We looked for clues in the small maze before finding our way out.

There was a great picture spot that we took advantage of

        

And then the fun really began with the corn barn!  Oh, man.  I love this.  It is is like a leg workout combined with a foot massage.  It is amazing. 

        

We headed out of the barn to the tire playground.  This was an addition in the last two or so years, and the girls really enjoy scampering around. 

              

We did the tire swings, the big slides, the tractor pull (a new feature this year), the pedal races (look at that photo finish!), the potato slingshot, wrangling cattle, and made our way back to the start to grab something to eat.

         

It was a gorgeous day – full of sunshine, but still a crisp, fall day.  And we are so thankful to our friends for thinking of us.
