Orr Family Farm

The Friday after we got home from our Fall Break trip we were already out of school again...this time for parent/teacher conferences. I had already done both kids conferences and was off work so I thought it would be fun to take the kids to the Orr Family Farm knowing everyone else was in school and it wouldn't be crazy crowded. We asked Peyton if she wanted to go too and the four of us got down there right about the time it opened. I was so wrong on it not being crowded. Apparently, several schools decided to have their field trips there on the same day! The line to get in looked like this....

We decided to stick it out and it actually was well worth it. Its big enough inside that it didn't even seem crowded and we still had such a great time. We walked to the petting zoo first and the kids loved playing with the goats. There was even a baby goat that they got so excited about!

The kids always LOVE the corn barn! They fill their shirts, socks, shoes with corn and just giggle the whole time. They were very likely the biggest kids in there and were probably having the most fun!

We rode on the tricycle track, played "guess the pumpkin", bounced on the jumping pillows, and Hudson played lots of football. They have added so many new activities this year!

Mining is the kids very favorite part of the Orr Family Farm so we always make time to buy a bag and mine to see what they got. They found all the crystals, rocks, etc and then took turns picking their favorites to take home.

Stopping at the playground on the way out, sitting in the Giant chair, and just for fun...measuring ourselves next to the pumpkins. Sure wish we had done this every year we have come!
