On Wednesday, the kids and I joined my neighbor, Lisa, and her daughter, Marissa for an outing to Greenbluff. The month of October is Harvest Festival. At 9:30 am we drove the 20 minutes to Greenbluff and met up with our MOPS group at Knapp Farms. The weather was beautiful. Blue sky and sunshine, but a bit chilly. The kids were bundled up as they experienced the "Punkin Chunkin" (an air cannon that launches pumpkins really really high into the air only to let them go kerplop into the adjacent field), the straw maze, the farm animals, and of course the pumpkin patch.

We left our group a little early and headed to another farm. We went to High Country Orchards and had a delightful lunch as the kids played on the playgrounds and ran through the fields. Then we headed to Harvest House for some ice cream and apple cider (and a few pics with the pumpkins).

These pumpkins are mine!
What I thought was going to be a quick outing to the farms ended up being an all-day field trip. The kids and I were exhausted when we got home around 3 pm. Just in time for all of us to take our afternoon naps. Yippee!

What a fun, long day! You should be my parent with all those fun activities. My poor kids just sit at home.
