Schnepf Farms

Such a fun place. We went to the pumpkin festival a few years ago, but the kids (Caiden mostly) were too little and it didn’t seem like we got our moneys worth. This year was a totally different story, they have added a lot to the farm since the last time we were there and the kids were big enough to ride all of the rides. We had a blast for the four and half hours we were there and we could have been there longer, but it was 10:30 pm and the kids were ready to crash!

The hayride was my favorite. We got to see the baby deer and the kids fed them peach leaves off the nearby trees, so cool! I had never fed a deer before have you?

The kids and Pete loved the roller coaster. It was a slow night so they would get off and get right back on, I lost count of how many times they rode.

I LOVE that they can ride some rides together now and we dont have to ride with them! I was never a fan of the up, down, round, and round rides.=)

Caiden even rode this one alone. He was the only kid who could figure out how to make the airplane “fly high”.

Waiting for the pig races. Look at those grins, Think those two are related?

Of course we had to ride the 100 year old carousel.

And pick some pumpkins from the Patch.

Goldie

A few weeks ago I took the kids to meet Goddess’ new horse Goldie. She is a Belgium Draft horse, she is beautiful, and HUGE! The kids both just loved being around all of the horses, and helping to brush, feed and walk them. Kayli wanted to get up on Goldie just to sit on her, but we figured out that she is just too big to even get Kayli up there. I think we need a pony and riding lessons for this girl, she keeps  telling me she wants to be the Queen Creek Rodeo Princess.

They had a blast in the mud puddle too. Kayli was pretty hesitant on getting dirty, but finally decided to go for it. She stood next to the puddle, took a deep breath and a big jump. Little did she know that her boots  would sink in, get stuck and she would end up on her bum in the cool muddy water. It was hilarious.

I love watching my kids run and play and have fun, even when it means driving home with 2 kiddos in their underwear! =)
