Vertuccio Farms Fall Festival

Last month I actually planned ahead for Halloween (go me!) and bought a Groupon for us to go to Vertuccio Farms Fall Festival. There are a few different Fall Festivals/pumpkin patches around here, but this one is the closest and closest means best in my opinion.
The day that we went, Tuesday, was an overcast day and it was very perfect for fall.

The first thing we did once arriving was go on the "train ride". Big shout out to me and Patrick for being able to fit into the barrels. Preston wanted to sit up front, so Patrick went up there with him and Jaxton wanted the very last seat so he sat there and Lucas and I sat in front of him. 

They were in heaven.

We tried to do all the things that would require sunlight since we knew we wouldn't have much time and that meant going to see the animals. 

And feeding the goats. 

The baby goats were adorable. They kept jumping on the big goats back.
I feel ya mama goat. So we made sure to feed her lots. 

The water pump duck races kept them busy for quite awhile as all things related to water usually do.

And then we pretended to be fly's caught in the spider web.
Well, Preston and Jaxton did, Lucas kind of just stood there calling for help. He'd make a terrible fly. 

We played the bean bag toss for awhile. 

And then Lucas played solo for awhile while the boys went down an enormous slide. Lucas gets a little iffy around slides. Slides and elevators. Claustrophobic maybe. 

He's obsessed with bouncing tho and was going nuts on the jump pad. 

We put the boys to work milking cows. Somehow Lucas ended up with his pants almost completely soaked. Farming is not in his future. Especially since he kept stopping to point out airplanes and scream out "AIRPLANE".

We skipped the giant corn maze because can you imagine?! hahah!!! Plus I still think of the movie Signs whenever I see corn stalks. They did have a small hay maze for the little kids and the boys had fun with that and with climbing on the "monster truck" tires. 

And then on our way out we stopped for Patrick to impress us all by ringing the bell on the hammer hit.
I tried and only got halfway. 

Jaxton tried and couldn't even lift the hammer all the way up.
