Last Saturday the girls and I went to a place called Peacock Road Tree Farms located about 25 minutes from our house. We enjoyed looking at farm animals, participating in a pig race, riding a wagon and a little train, picking pumpkins, eating a donut from the "Sugar Shack", playing in the hay and riding a horse and a donkey among other things. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and one we are sure to remember for a long time! 
We got there in time to see the pig races. The farmer let all the kids participate. At one point Alyson and Kourtney were the drivers. They chased the pigs with brooms (the pigs knew what to do and the kids really didn't have to chase them), and Ellary got to ring a bell.
This is a picture of Ellary dancing to some music that was being played at the pig races. If you can't tell, she's very excited!
We fed the goats. Wow-they had the biggest goats I have ever seen.
We also took a horse drawn wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. Each of the girls chose a pumpkin. We helped Keegan choose his first pumpkin.
The "Boo Train" took us on about a 15 minute ride around the farm. Keegan loved peeking his head out the window.
As I watched the girls have so much fun climbing these large hay stacks got me thinking about how simple playtime was for children growing up on farms back in the day. It was one of the highlights of the day!
I couldn't resist having the kids pose for some pictures before we left. It was a great way to end our day!
