We piled into the minivan on a cool October day to visit the local pumpkin farm. The kids were excited to visit the small animals, to navigate the corn maze and sunflower mazes, to climb on the the tractors, to ride on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and to pick their own pumpkins, and of course to be with good friends. They surprised us with a bonus: their barn was filled 20+ feet high with bales of hay and slides for the kids to slide down. This provided more than an hour of sliding, jumping, climbing and laughing in the piles of golden straw. When we returned home the kids stripped in the entry and there was an enormous pile of hay from the clothes and shoes. Hay was in the hair, socks, even inside the pull-ups. Right to the bath and then to warm soup for dinner. It was a great day! Autumn is not only beautiful but fun too.
