Orr Family Farm

Crossings has an annual Family Night at the Orr Family Farm each year. Last year my brother and dad took Hadley along with Peyton and told us how much fun it was. Now that Hadley is at Crossings as well we all went this year.  It is a pretty fun place with so much to do. They have a big carousel, ponies, a petting zoo, mazes, mining stations, a large park, ziplines, slides, trains, trampolines, sand pits, and probably a lot more that I am forgetting. They have photo ops set up everywhere and if we had coordinated the kids a little more it would have been fun to get some family pictures. 

Hadley was excited to get on the carousel but humored mommy by smiling for a quick picture in line:

Head thrown back in laughter, I think Hudson and Hadley both LOVED the carousel. Poor daddy had to stay on there for about 6 full rides!

Precious little Buck...

Hudson panicked a bit when we first went into the petting zoo and clung to my shoulders but he soon got up the nerve to feed the goats and loved it! He would stick his fingers all the way in the goat's mouth and then laugh so hard when they took the food from him.

This was the mining station. You can mine for fossils, rocks, gems, etc. and Ryan bought a bag of fossils to mine with Hudson. Hudson was so cute listening to everything Ryan told him and was excited to find some "dinosaur bones."

Sifting all the sand out...

Itty, bitty hands doing it all by himself...

The only way of getting a picture of Hadley was by catching her running and playing with her cousin and friends. She had very little time for us and was having the time of her life! They had Jumping pillows which were similar to a trampoline but seemed much safer. I immediately went home and looked them up on the computer because they were so fun but found they are a little expensive for home use! The kids had SO much fun on them though. They chased each other, double bounced each other, and laughed until they couldn't stand up!

I didn't even get a picture of one of my favorite parts of the night. Hudson has had an incredible talent of driving a battery powered car since a really young age (about 18 months). He picked it up really fast and can even drive Hadley's big Escalade all around the neighborhood without wrecking it. There were a bunch of people standing around this race car track as all the kids were riding these cars. My dad pushed Hudson really fast and let go of him to steer it on his own. Everyone screamed and jumped out of the way as he came straight towards them. He turned the wheel at the last second and stayed right on the track. You could hear him laughing as he continued to go around until the car slowed to a stop since his feet couldn't touch the pedals to keep it going. He did this over and over and I can't count the number of people that came up to me and told me they couldn't believe he could drive the car so well.

I can't wait to go back here again! The kids had so much fun and we could have easily spent a couple more hours playing if it hadn't gotten dark.
