Last Monday and Tuesday the kids had teacher inservice days and were off. Dan had Monday (Columbus Day) off as well so we decided to head south of Fort Collins, Colorado to Anderson Farms. There wasn't any snow and it got up to the upper 40's. We had a blast!
Here we are in front of their bunnyville area. The bunnies were eating all of the pumpkins surrounding the fence.
The kids really enjoyed their animal petting area. They had a lot of goats including some baby ones. they also had chickens, geese, cats, and a couple of llamas.
They were all imprisoned. We were tempted to leave them there, but decided we should spring them instead.
We took a wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch and on the way we stopped to feed some long horned cattle and a buffalo. It was pretty funny how well these animals were trained to eat from the side of the wagon.
We had to do the 30 acre corn maze. there were 18 spots with hole punches to find. we got to 12 of them which we thought was pretty good with all of the kids.
They had a haystack maze the kids were supposed to find their way through, but the kids had more fun running on top.
The kids favorite part of the day was the barrel car ride. They LOVED it! We went twice. The first time we got a really long ride because nobody else was waiting. Fun!
We bought some gourds from the pumpkin patch. They had a hard frost , so they weren't sure if the pumpkins were okay, so we decided to get some heartier gourds rather than possibly go through the trauma of melting pumpkins. They were fun to pick.

the barrel cars reminded me of the voting booth boat...maybe you should try making one again next time summer rolls around. ;)
