Dewberry Farms

The last time we ventured over to Dewberry Farms was back in 2007 - the temperature was 92 degrees in October, it was a Sunday at 12 noon, which was code for right in the middle of naptime, we were with a group of 25 parents and kids, we waited in line for an hour for tickets, and we really didn't enjoy ourselves that much (due to all the above mentioned). This is what Justin looked like last go-round (Chance is on the left):


This time we went with 4 other families, the weather was about 58 when we arrived, we had printed off tickets that we had bought on the internet (a must - we were 2nd in line and walked right in when it opened), and we were nowhere near naptime. It was such a gorgeous day to be outside last weekend! At first all the little J wanted to do was swing. Then he progressed to the sandbox.

Then we put some food on a pulley and dumped in into an eating container. The goat then had to walk the draw bridge to get its food.



He wanted to do ti over and over, but we told him we had only brought one quarter.


Then Justin wanted to watch the puppet show with chickens singing a song. So far, we had thought that everything he wanted to do was quite random. But hey, we were here to have fun.


The Maryes from Sunday School were there to watch the show with us: Audra, Tatum, Dave, & Griffin.


Then we went down the roll slide. Luke Pine went down solo, as did Justin until the last turn when he rode in his father's lap.


Then we got on the hayride, where we went to a real pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Though we did not bring home a pumpkin, we had a fun time discerning which pumpkins were Cinderellas, etc. We learned how much sugar you have to add if you are making a homemade pumpkin pie according to what kind of pumpkin you got.


We usually go to the pumpkin patch every year with Hannah, so this year we just did Dewberry instead.


Some individual shots of the two.


Luke & Justin were rearranging pumpkins while Ainsley just enjoyed sitting in the dirt.


Justin kept trying ton pick up the pumpkins to put them in a straight line. He would then occasionally drop one - though you can't tell, the pumpkin on the right photo actually has 5 more inches until it touches the ground.


Then we went and rode the corn popper train.


I had so much dirt on me that the grit in my teeth didn't go away for hours. But hey, we had fun.


Then we ended up at the jumping pillow. This we could have stayed on for hours on end. Luke and Hannah were all smiles...


...as was Justin.


This is only open on weekend in October and November. The weather is supposed to be pleasant again this weekend, so go take your family for a visit!
