We finally made it out to the Bates Nut Farm last weekend to enjoy a good afternoon of fall festivities and to see why other families rave about this place. With the smell of kettle corn in the air and pumpkins scattered about...we explored the farm to find a small petting zoo, inflatable monster slides, barbeque and pony rides. We didn't get Kali on the pony ride, but she was fascinated by the horse drawn wagons that trotted past her very own parent drawn carriage (a.k.a. stroller). There was a pretty cool John Deere tractor train circling the event area too.
We saw a few pretty good scarecrows..even ones made out to look like Angry Birds characters. Evidently, they won first place in the scarecrow contest.
Kalista enjoyed the fields of pumpkins and we meandered through the actual pumpkin patch in search for the biggest pumpkin we can get our hands on. We didn't find a giant, good-looking pumpkin, but instead the patch resembled a battlefield of wounded pumpkins. Many of the pumpkins look like they had exploded from the scorching hot sun. Kalista felt adventurous enough to sit on one of the decent pumpkins we did find.
Hold on..I'm concentrating
Whoa...so many pumpkins!
I love the Bates Nut Farm!!!
