After the boys football games we headed to Seward Farms. They have a big corn maze and lots of other activities!
One of our first activities was milking a cow.
Nathan did a good job.
Daniel would make a good milking buddy.
Bradley
Eliza was last to give it a try.
Josh was excited to see all the new sites.
He's such a happy boy!
Daniel and Bradley loved the tire swings! They are pretty cool.
Nathan just wasn't quite big enough to do them alone.
Bradley and Nathan
This was Nathan's favorite slide. It was pretty big, but he didn't get going too fast.
The next stop was the tire horse swings.
"We need one of these Mom."
Eliza agrees with Nathan.
This horsey was a little off it's rocker.
That's better!
The boys loved the corn cannon.
They were pretty good with the cannon. Eliza and Nathan weren't quite as good of aims, but they didn't like the loud bank when it fired.
This potato sack slide was every one's favorite. It is a little intimidating from the top, but you don't pick up too much speed.
Bradley
I went down with Nathan the first time. I used him as an excuse to go down. :)
Daniel had a theory that laying down would make him go faster.
He is sure it made him faster.
Bradley liked to see where he was going.
Nathan wasn't scared at all. He loved the slide!
It took Eliza a while to get brave enough to slide down, but she enjoyed it once she went down.

We found the piggies of course.
These one raced a couple times a day. We missed the races.
We also had to give calf roping a try.
Bradley roped the calf after a couple practice throws.
Eliza climbed on and roped the calf on her first throw!
Daniel giving calf roping a try.
Wind it up...
and let it fly!
Nathan wanted to try.
I was afraid he was going to fall off while swinging the rope, but he hung on.
This giant pillow was awesome! The kids jumped on it for a long time. I think they would have stayed all day!
Daniel and Nathan
Nathan liked to sit down and let the kids bounce him down the side of the jump pillow.
Josh played with Dad while we watched the kids jump.
The corn maze was surrounded by sun flowers and wild flowers.
Andy took the kids on this cow train ride while Josh and I got pictures.
This little train literally zipped around sending dust flying!
Daniel was in front with Dad and Nathan right behind.
Eliza and Bradley were a couple cows behind the others.
It was a very fun and very dusty ride.
Coming in at the end of the ride.

I also enjoyed the fun hay bails decorations.
These pavilions look like the tops of grain silos.
A concession stand.
Another hay bail man.
This pumpkin stand was a great place to pick out a small pumpkin. I loved the bails of hay on either side.
They had goofy grins. I liked them.
Dad trying to keep up with the kids as they ran from one activity to the next.
Nathan "driving" a tractor. He was just barely tall enough for this picture.
What a serious cob of corn.
Nathan
Eliza is such a cute cob.
We took turns leading the way in the corn maze. Nathan was a good guide.
This way!

This little bridge gave us a view of the corn maze from above the tops of the corn.

Daniel and Bradley loved playing tether ball.
Nathan found all kinds of friends to play with.
This was a cool swing.
Nathan likes all kinds of swings.
Bradley slowed down long enough to swing with Nathan.
This barn house with slide was a lot of fun. We might need one someday.
We enjoyed a hay ride.
Bradley, Eliza, Daniel, Nathan, Josh and Dad
We rode through a nice pasture with some good lookin' beef.
The gentle rocking and bumping of the wagon put Josh to sleep.
Dad is pretty comfy.
We enjoyed watching the goats on their balance beam.
The chickens were all small, but colorful.
This little rooster reminded me of Grandma Marvin since she had roosters in her kitchen.
The baby donkey was super cute.
Baby cows are cute, but the next three cows were the cutest ones there!
Nathan
Daniel
Eliza
This was a fun sign to see who was the tallest.
Bradley is still a tiny bit taller than Daniel.
I love this giant rocker. I need a couple on my front porch.
Andy looks so small and cute in this big rocker.
It was a beautiful fall day. Perfect for a family outing!
