Maris Farms

For the past 2 years we have been saying we wanted to go to "Maris Farms," but have never made it there so we decided to make it a goal this year. We went on Todd's birthday, which was nice to think about him while we were there because he would have loved it! Gosh I miss him! Anyway, we got there and the sun was out, but it was really cold and Sophia wanted to ride a pony right away. This is huge for her, seeing as though she is still afraid of most animals. Her pony's name was Sally May!

 Kenton did not want to ride on a pony, but made sure he watched "yah yah" (that's what he calls Sophia). He kept pointing to her and made sure I knew what she was doing!

 The under ground tunnel slide was Kenton's favorite! Once we sat down he counted, 1, 2, 3 to go and laughed all the way down...

 We didn't get to ride on the monster truck but had to go look at it up close...The tires are HUGE!

Next up was the pedal carts. Around and around they went...

 The bouncy mat was my favorite and Kenton and Sophia both laughed the whole time. As we would jump, we would randomly get launched by other people which was quite the surprise!

 NOTICE THE VERY GRAY CLOUDS...

The corn maze was huge and you could pick different games to play while in it.

Kenton fell asleep half way through so I got my workout!

 You know those gray clouds I pointed out. As we were on the tractor ride the rain started falling. And within 2 minutes was pouring buckets and at one point starting hailing a little. You would think we were in a good spot because the tractor was covered...OH NO! The wind picked up on our 2 mph ride of which we were stuck on. We will just say that we were all sopping wet!

 After we got off the tractor we ran for the covered barn as well as everyone else at Maris Farms. We hadn't gotten to the pumpkin patch part of the farm yet and Sophia wanted to pick one out. We left Daddy and Kenton in the barn while we braved the down pour (my dad ran and got our umbrellas thank goodness). Sophia spotted this pumpkin, but looked a little more and then she came back to this one and said it was the one. I love this picture because it's a true WA pumpkin patch picture. 

 We picked out a little one for Kenton so he could have one too:)

I love that even though it rained, I got to spend time with family and that we still have fun no matter what. Happy Birthday Todd...we love and miss you!
