A trip to the Farm...

We took our annual trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm this last week with the kids and we had a wonderful time. Hannah was finally old enough to go on "the big slide".
They added a new food area since last year and it looks beautiful. Now the only thing they need is real bathrooms. I had a hard time convincing Hannah that the "potty" didn't flush. It took her a little bit to be "ok" with the thought of actually using it, but eventually she gave in.
Altogether, it was a great day. We had a lot of fun petting the goats and seeing all the brand new baby pigs, but the best part of the day was the hayride and the search for our pumpkins. Riley wasn't so sure about the hay though.

Going to a farm and looking for pumpkins doesn't seem like a very exciting family outing. However, for us it was a special time where we built memories like watching our kids holding hands, walking through the pumpkin patch, or seeing the look on Riley's face as we went through the dark tunnel while on the train.


As expected, this day was one of the highlights of our year together as a family.
One that we won't soon forget.

We love Bishop's! We've gone together every year since we got engaged and it's so fun to watch your child enjoy something that is so special to you.

What great pictures! Looks like you guys had a blast! I know that this was always the highlight of our year growing up too. I can't wait to share those memories and pass that tradition onto our son. I'm glad Bishop's is doing all they can to make the farm bigger and better every year.
