Tate Farms

Baby Girl,

At the beginning of October we took you to Tate Farms.  We went with our good friends Micah and Kristen.  We met them there and were looking forward to all the fun we had in store.  It was a big farm, and while it was fun this year, I am looking forward to taking you the next couple years when you can enjoy all the things they had for you to do!  When we first got there Micah wanted to go see the animals.  They had a small petting zoo.  We got to see rabbits, donkeys, and pigs.  We even got to go into the pens with the animals!!

                             Here we are petting the rabbits.        Baby Girl, Micah, and Mommy with the pigs.

               Baby Girl and Mommy with the donkeys.  Mommy wasn't so sure about petting the donkeys.

 After petting the animals we went to the playground.  It was so cute!! They had used tons of old farming equipment to build the playground.  There were several different sized "jungle gyms" and slides to play on, but of course your favorite was the swings!

Micah even drove you around the tractor.

After the playground we headed to the corn pits.  You didn't really know what to think of this.  You just kind of stared at it and quickly decided you had had enough of it and wanted out.  Micah wasn't overly excited about this either, so this was a pretty quick area for us.

We then stopped for a quick photo session on our way to the hayride.  So cute!!

Finally, we made it to the hayride.  On the hayride we got to pick out our own pumpkins!! It was so much fun.  

Overall it was a super fun day!! It was extremely hot which made us realize we needed to check the weather next year.  There was absolutely no breeze or shade at the farms and we got very hot very quick.  It was such a fun experience and I can't wait to take you again next year when you can really enjoy everything the farm had to offer.

Love,

Mommy
