A Day at the Farm

This year's Berry Farm excursion was a momentous occasion due to the fact that Bry actually took the day off of school. This is a huge deal for our favorite school-a-holic. It transformed a day that would have been exhausting and frustrating into one of the best family days EVER.

This is Ivy's special backpack. It holds her priceless EpiPen, just in case she gets an allergic reaction. Bry carried it for her all day- REAL men sport Strawberry Shortcake backpacks!

Hayrides are great for snuggles.

The kids were already getting photo-shooted-out.

They still had some cute smiles in them though!

Ivy kept screaming, "PUNKIN! PUNKIN!" People would look over to make sure she wasn't being murdered. Nope, that's just her volume.


Here's what everyone picked:



After pumpkin picking we explored the farm.

We enjoyed duck races (rubber ducks), chickens, turkeys, goats, cows, sheep, bunnies, and an emu- with Ivy screaming the names and sounds of the animals the whole time. But our favorite event, by far, was the pig races. The first one to the platform gets a cookie!

Who can resist the wooden signs with places to stick your head?

After lunch we were brave and tried our luck in the huge corn maze. This could have been a big mistake, but the kids loved it and we followed a parade of people that seemed to know what they were doing.

Our last stop is my favorite of the day. The corn pit. It was getting hot and the corn was cool and so dang fun. The whole family jumped in and laughed and played. We found corn in the funniest places for the rest of the day including Hyrum's ear, Ivy's diaper, and all our unmentionables. So if we ever get lost just follow the corn trail!
