Field Trip to Schnepf Farms

Yesterday, I got to take both girls on a field trip to Schnepf Farms. It was a trip with Maile's school, but I was able to also bring Audrey along. Daddy had to work unfortunately, so he missed out on some of the fun.
We were there for the 1st time, even though the farm is so close to us. For the past 3 years I believe , me and my friends from the mom's club have been trying to go there and every year even as the end of October approached it still seemed too hot to go.

Yesterday was different. We woke up to a very refreshing mid 60s temperature. The girls got to see their friends from school and had so much fun.

I had no idea the farm was so big, much bigger than even Freeman Farms. They had tons of rides. The girls favorite was the airplane ride...the least favorite was the roller coaster. Unfortunately, I am part to blame for that one. It sure seemed pretty harmless from the ground but once we got on, it was quite shaky and way taller than I thought. Plus we were at an odd number, too so the girls had to sit together while I sat behind them.
Maile started crying during the roller coaster ride, but once we got off she was better. Another airplane ride later, she had forgotten all about the roller coaster.

I also packed our lunch so we sat down with out friends and had a nice picnic outdoors.
Before we left, the girls also got to pick one pumpkin each which they were so excited to share with their daddy later that night.

We ended up leaving the farm around 1.30 PM. The girls were barely dragging their feet. By the time we got in the car, 2 seconds later Audrey was fast asleep. Maile followed about 10 min later.
We got home and we all laid down for some much needed rest before we had to head out again later that night.

Centennial Elementary was having a pumpkin lighting/early Halloween celebration that the girls got to wear their costumes too. I guess they were supposed to head out candy but I didn't see anybody do that. We just played with some of our friends some more and watched " It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown" in the school cafeteria.

All in all, another long but very fun day this week.
