Black Island Farms

Some days are just rough. I was grumpy, Grace was grumpy and Max was grumpy. Mike took off early and we went to Black Island Farms - I had to get out of the house! We had really enjoyable evening!

This picture was me telling Max to look at the camera, he still wasn't looking at the camera, but I love the face!

The straw maze-

They have several slides that the kids can climb up on hay bales an slide down thick sheets of plastic, my kids must have slid down 100 times-And I couldn't decide which pictures I liked best.

I love Max's face in the above picture - pure joy!

They had a farm yard rock band set up, of course the kids had to play.

They also had a little train for the kids-

The Halloween Bounce house- no we don't know any one in these pictures, but at one point Grace came out of the bounce house just to say she really liked it and was having fun. Made my heart happy. Also, the guy in the black hoodie worked at the farm, they all had shirts that said CORN COP, which I thought was clever.

After the tractor ride, which I failed to get any pictures of, we went back to the slides. The black slide was a grain shoot, at first Max wouldn't go down. Grace came down, and then several other kids came down and I kept shouting for Max to come down but he wouldn't. Then I heard a lady talking to him and then she said okay and came down. She had a baby strapped to her chest, and Max riding on her lap. It was quite funny. After that I went down with him, but once was enough for me. He wasn't afraid anymore and the kids went down several times by themselves.

I know these are blurry, but at some point in time they decided to start going down together-it was pretty funny.

We love fall, and I'm so glad it warmed up a bit for us to go have some fun!
