Ramseyer Farms

Saturday morning we decided to brave the elements and visit Ramseyer Farms in Wooster. It was really cold and overcast but that did not deter our fun.
Part of the children's play area. That is a hay bale maze in the background.

Morgan really loved playing in the corn kernels and it was even better that he didn't have to share the toys with anyone!

Our little Pepper Bear.
The playground is behind us.


A big slide into corn kernels. I didn't get to try it but Cody and Morgan did. Morgan did not seem overly impressed and Cody said it was cold and bumpy but fun.



Morgan and Cody took a ride on a tractor train.
Here's a video of their ride and more of the farm:
The goat run.

Morgan had a great time feeding the goats up high.

The boys launching little potatoes into a field.

Pepper and I trying out our launching skills.

Time for a chilly bike ride.

After all the fun and games, a brief tantrum and time out, we decided to go pick our own pumpkins.

Morgan couldn't pick up the big pumpkins but had fun pulling the wagon.
We had a blast spending some time as a family enjoying the wonderful fall activities. I still have days when I really miss living in NYC but on days like this I am truly grateful for our new life in Ohio. My intense love for fall and all of its activities does help my mood immensely!

I was looking through old pictures of Morgan as a baby and realized I had a lot more documentation of him learning to eat food. So here's my pity picture of Pepper (say that three times fast). Even with peas and oatmeal smashed all over her face she is still such a beauty!

This is for Chamaine and Mesha, since I know how much they enjoy seeing me at my best.
I have some truly special hair in the mornings!

It's amazing Morgan can see anything when he smiles, his eyes get so tiny!

On Friday our RS had a girls night slumber party activity at a friend's house. We were supposed to bring a treat to I decided to try my hand at making challah. It turned out delicious and I think my bread braiding skills are starting to improve!

What a fun place and great times for your family! I love Michigan in the fall too. Oh and that bread looks amazing! Hey I made my blog private but don't think I have your email address. Just send me an email or comment and I'll put you on the "approved" list =).

I now get why Frankie Avalon asked, "why-o, why-o, why-o did I ever leave Ohio?!" Because Ohio has the coolest places to visit! Love Pepper - she is SO cute! Morgan is so big now! And your hair is priceless - it never disappoints! Thanks! Sorry, I did not call back this afternoon/evening - 2 children in a year is quite the adjustment!;-)

That looks so so fun, we are going to have to go there one day. I have driven by there but never have stopped. I can't believe how much they have to do there! I can't believe how much you look like my best friend when I was a teenager, it's so weird, you could be her twin. As always, that bread looks yummy, I could never get bread to look like that!
