Down on the Farm

Today started we took a field trip to Tolmachoff Farms. It was "Family Fun Day" down on the farm. They had activities set up, vendor booths, and a "u-pick" area of the farm.

First up, our admission stamp. Cows! Madilyn was quite pleased with this.

Next up, bouncing ponies!


Followed, of course, by a bouncy castle.


Grammy even participated in a corn shucking race. She didn't win, but still gets an "A" for effort!



In lieu of a "ball pit" they had a "corn pit" where kids could play in dried corn. Mads wasn't too sure as first, but warmed quickly to the idea.


After the corn pit, we took some time to bet the little animals. Madilyn LOVES petting them and was very gentle.


Grace was quite the trooper too. Here she is hanging out in the stroller while Madilyn visits with more animals.


We sure had a fun day, but we were all tuckered out by the end!



This farm had the largest produce I have EVER seen. Incredible, really. Here's a zuchinni from the grocery store, next to the one we hand picked today.

For a better example, here it is compared to my hand.

And what better way to end a day at the farm picking yummy fresh veggies than with a vegetarian dinner. It was delicious!!

What a fun day. Can't wait to hit the next farm for some peach picking in a few weeks!
