Phantom Farms and Farm Day

Two weeks ago, Izzy's class had a field trip to Phantom Farms - an apple orchard. Here's her class.

Here's Z&E's class.

Jane and Paul's Farm

Our neighbors get us tickets each year to the Farm Day at Jane and Paul's Farm. It's a free event with tractor rides, pumpkin picking, a corn maze and animals to feed. The kids love it - and this year, we brought along 8 other families with us! Everyone had a blast.

Riding on the tractor to the pumpkin patch!

Tractor rides are FUN!


Finding the PERFECT pumpkin. Everyone got to take home one free pumpkin. What a deal!

"Hmmm.... is this one JUST right?"

Izzy found her perfect one.

Getting ready to enter the corn maze.

Navigating our way through.


Steve's boss (Jim) and his family came along. This is his daughter Bianca with Izzy.
