Post Family Farm

On Saturday, we made our annual trip to Post Farm. It's tradition for us to go with Bill's sister, Mandy, her husband Dan, and their kiddos.



There is a lot for kids to do at the farm. There's a playground, a zip line, a straw maze, corn maze, pumpkin train, pony rides, hay rides, crafts, etc. One price covers everything except the pony rides and crafts. They also have fabulous freshly baked donuts for sale.



TJ was game to try almost anything. I was shocked when he did the zip line. He was definitely the smallest kid to try it. Initially, he was afraid to drop off at the end, but he managed. He's so short, either Bill or I had to boost him up to reach the handles!



Sam REALLY enjoyed feeding the goats. He was practically sticking his whole hand in their mouth, he was so eager to feed them. I'm surprised he didn't get bit. I had to scrub his hands off in the bathroom when he finished that.



Owen, my nephew, loved the straw maze. Only, his shoes kept popping off. He'd dig through the straw and hand them to Mandy for help.



Audrey was absolutely fascinated with the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. She was so happy!



Nolan slept through most of it. He did wake up in time for a group picture, and he watched me enjoy a donut.


By the time we left, TJ was exhausted (he needs naps on the weekends to make up for his busy school days), so we had lots of whining and arguing. The rest of the trip was very enjoyable.
