For family night last night we decided to go to a "Farmtastic Fall Festival" that they have here. It's at the same place we went to the "Baby Animal Days" at in the springtime. The best part about it was that after a few days they decided to stop charging for the rides, so the kids got to do tons of fun stuff!
So last year I took Scott to the baby animal days and after standing in line for 30 minutes to ride the horse, he put on a helmet and then started screaming. This year there was no line and he was ready to go!
It is so awesome to have a big brother! Hailey looks up to Scott so much, she didn't even think twice to get on the horse after she saw Scott do it! She was stiff, but at least she did it! :)
They also had this cool hay fort that you could climb and jump around on. I was surprised I caught this shot on our old worthless camera! Go Scott!
So the fort had different spots of shredded hay (see above picture) to jump into. Well after climbing about 6 feet on top of these hay bales, Scott decided to jump off. No soft landing though- he landed right onto another bale and ended up with a sore tush.
They had a big corn maze, toddler corn maze and even this little corn maze for tots like Hailey. She thought it was so much fun trying to catch Kevin and I- we would run from her and then she would try to take a path to get to us.
Here's a big monster slide - you sit on potato sacks and away you go
Here's a video of Kevin going with both the kids

Here's a short clip of them riding
Next they got to ride this little barrel train. Again, so nice to have a big brother to ride with!

This was officially my first corn maze, although after we decided it was going to get dark before we finished, we turned around and went back. 15 minutes is really all the kids needed to get the experience

Here's a video of Kevin going with both the kidsAfter we ate way too much kettle corn by the fire pit, we got to take a ride on this fun little train
and then we took a wagon ride around and that completed our fun family night. The kids had so much fun and Kevin and I loved watching them laugh and smile. It's just too cute. I love getting to do all these fun things as a family. I don't want to wake up one day when the kids are already teenagers and realize that we never did anything fun while they were young! Now Hailey can say she rode a horse before her 2nd birthday and Scott almost broke a leg on a 6 foot hay bale. Good times!
