Cornucopia Farm

Last week we got to go on a field trip to Cornucopia Farm. They had lots of fun stuff for the kids to do there. The kids also got to learn a lot about how to grow a pumpkin and about all the different types of pumpkins. It was a rainy morning, and we were afraid we might not get to go on our field trip. However, the rain pretty much stopped while we were there, other than a little bit of drizzly rain occasionally. The kids wore boots, old clothes and jackets and we made the most of it. We especially enjoyed getting to hang out with our friends Merideth, Roger and Victoria at the farm!

This was like a big sand box, only it was filled with corn instead of sand.

This was our wagon ride out to the "pumpkin patch". The real pumpkin patch was too muddy to get to in the wagon, so they prepicked a bunch of pumpkins and just laid them on the ground in the corn field.

Showing off their pumpkins!

They got to learn about farm animals and actually fed a calf!

Brandon learned that pigs are used in diabetes research.

Weeeee!

Our friends, Roger and Victoria!

Happy Fall!

Rubber duck races!

They also had a big corn maze and a soybean maze, but due to the weather, we opted not to do that. It looked like fun, so I was a little bummed, but it was still a great day.
