Saturday at Anderson Farms

To celebrate fall we headed up to Anderson Farms just south of Longmont. After last weekend where we were all sick and it rained both days, we were ready to bust out of the house this weekend. We were very fortunate to have great weather with a forecasted high of 80 degrees! I'm not sure how warm it actually got today but it was in the low 70's when we were at the farm this morning. The weather made for a great fall day.

Oliver LOVED Anderson Farms. Not only did they have the corn maze and pumpkin field, they had a petting zoo, barrel train rides and more. They had tons of stuff for the kids to do but most of it Oliver will have to try out next year.

Are we going the right way?
We rode out to the pumpkin patch in a wagon pulled by a tractor. Oliver was all smiles with big arm waves the whole way out. We stopped on the way to feed some long horn cows and a buffalo that were waiting for our arrival. OK, so WE didn't feed them, we let all of the other people with older kids feed them. They were very slobbery and Oliver didn't know the difference if we fed them or not. Someday, we'll have to be slimed by a cow too, just for the enjoyment of our son. It must have been fate that we were pulled by an Oliver tractor.

Funny Guy!


Oliver's all set with his pumpkins of choice.
"I just know if I keep rocking this pumpkin I can get it back to the tractor"

"Hmm... that tractor is quite far away. I wonder if the farmer will come pick me up"
