The train was actually a lot different this year. It wasn't a very exciting journey as we just kind of went in a circle around this patch of corn stalks.
That's probably because last year the train went around by the corn maze and by the little lake and the petting zoo...
But halfway through as we were heading up a hill, the train wouldn't make it! So all the parents had to get out and walk while the "engineer" got the train up over the "hill"!
This year they did it a little different at the end, instead of just coming to a stop and everyone getting out, we stopped a ways before we were supposed to and all of a sudden these guys came waving their guns...
They said they wanted to rob us but really they ended up giving us candy...
Which of course all the kids loved! This little "robbery" at least made the boring train ride somewhat exciting at the end!
Next we did the hayride which was definitely nice and relaxing. We were driven all around the farm and shown the fields and tractors that are actually used in the day to day running of the farm. I love the hayride, it's a nice calming time amidst lots of hustle and bustle to and fro around the farm!
This was one of Derek's favorite things to do at the pumpkin farm.
Amazingly as we were walking up to the farm in the parking lot he started talking about wanting to ride "those little tractors", I was amazed that he remembered them from last year!
He rode on these a couple of times that day and would have stayed on them all day if we would have let him. Guess he should enjoy them while he can since they only go through age 5!
Part 4 will be up in a little bit!
