Murray Family Farms

Last Saturday we went as a family to the spectacular Murray Family Farms. We had so much fun the last time we went for October Fun Fest that I have been counting down the weeks until we could go again this year.

First off, we boarded the tractor for a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our perfectly plump pumpkins. 

I think Peter's got his all picked out...

And Benji too..

Or wait. Maybe this one is better?

I think that kid picked up like 50 different pumpkins before we made the final cut.

Trav and Pete had to go investigate the beehives in the orchards next to the pumpkin patch.

 After picking our family of pumpkins, we headed back to the farm for all the festivities. They had a bluegrass band, face painting, several corn mazes, hay bale jumping, a butterfly house, a petting zoo, and these awesome water pumping stations which Peter and Benji always love.

 The lovely gourd tunnel.

 The we had to go on the 'cow ride.'

Peter especially had a ball on this one.

And then we made our way to the giant bouncing pillow.

Which I quickly discovered was great fun, but not exactly the best idea for someone with a fractured elbow...

 Even though it was a hot and dusty day (90 degrees! in late October!!), we all had a wonderful time. The kids (and Trav) were exhausted and everybody was practically asleep before we pulled out of the parking lot.

 Happy Halloween!
