Vollmer Farms

Each year we go to the pumpkin patch. Last year I think we ended up going 4 times with all the birthday parties we had there! And every year... we always go to Hillridge Farms. It's a really nice farm with all the usual pumpkin patch stuff. But this year we decided to go to a different farm. I had been to Vollmer Farms with Gavin before and although it's a little farther out (and a little more expensive) it isn't nearly as crowded as Hillridge. I'm pretty sure just about everyone goes to Hillridge in this area!

Vollmer Farms also has more things to do than Hillridge. In addition to picking your own pumpkin sliding on the big tube slide, playing in the corn and the hay ride they have rat racers, a zip line, a big inflatable pumpkin that is like a trampoline, and a cow train! They have some other stuff as well but those seem to be the main attractions!

My kids had a blast. What were the favorite activities from my kids? Gavin loved the zip line and Megan LOVED the cow train!

It's not easy to crawl in corn!

Where did Gavin go?

Riding in the "Moo Cow train" -- Doesn't Daddy look thrilled!? I'm pretty sure he rode it at least 3 times... the things you do for your kids!
