Every year we love to visit a local farm to see the animals and pick out the perfect pumpkins to carve for Halloween. This year we decided to try a new farm that was recommended by a friend - Tranquillity Farms. We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Tranquillity Farms today and had a fabulous time! They have a nice farm stand with mums, a variety of apples and pumpkins, gourds, squash and some homebaked treats. Behind the stand, there were tents with some crafters selling their wares, food vendors (BBQ, cotton candy, funnel cakes) and some really nice kiddie rides which Claire loved (The girl has a serious addiction to bounce houses and jumping!)!!
We spent much of the afternoon watching Claire on the rides (An $8 investment in a wristband proved to be worth every penny!). We also made our way through a giant corn maze thanks to Daddy's keen sense of direction (If we had been alone, Claire and I would have been lost for weeks.) and took a leisurely hayride out to a giant pumpkin patch where little orange balls growing on tangled vines were scattered everywhere. They also had a few pigs, goats and calves in small pens and an area for pony rides.
We plan to share this hidden gem with friends who are looking for a fun, reasonable place to spend some family time. It was the perfect place for us to reconnect after all of Daddy's recent business trips.
P.S. After recapping our day with my husband, he informed me that today was the first time he had ever been on a hayride and the first time he had ever gone pumpkin picking!! Ever. I think the other years that we have gone to farms in the fall he has been working or traveling. We'll have to make sure this becomes a yearly family tradition so he can get some more hayriding and pumpkin picking under his belt!!
