Patterson Farms

Today we loaded ourselves up and headed over to Patterson Farms for a bit of Fall fun. This place was amazing! The foliage there was beautiful, and they had tons of fun things for kids to do. This is definitely some place we'll return to year after year!

Here's the entrance to the Farm:


And from there, we were kindly escorted to the rest of the farm on a tractor-pulled-trailer. Grace thought it was a super fun ride (though you can't tell from her expression)!


A view of some of the fun kids toys (that Grace is going to love next year):

They even had some adult toys too. Here I am trying my hand at stilt-walking. I have to admit, it was pretty tricksy, but after (cough) several tries (and some help from one of the farm hands), I actually got the hang of it.

After a little fooling around, we headed into the woods...

....for a ride on the 50 foot slide...

...some time on a tree fort...

...and a gorgeous walk through their acres of woods!

The foliage was SO BEAUTIFUL!! I'd never seen so many colors of leaves! And it was just so nice to be out and enjoying the beauties of nature as a family.

After our wonderful walk through the woods, we did some more walking--but this time it was through the Corn Maze.

Travis and I had always meant to go to the one in Rigby but never got a chance to, so completing Patterson's Corn Maze was something we couldn't miss!

Travis and Grace thought it was pretty great...

and I got kinda claustrophobic. But hey, now we can check "do a corn maze" off our list and move on, right? I had fun taking pictures of it at least.

After going maze crazy, we finished off our day of fun with another tractor ride, or two.

And Grace learned that driving your own tractor is just as fun as getting a ride from one!

We had such a fun day together as a family, and can't wait to go again next year!
