Chase Farms

A couple weeks back I went with Jack and his class to Chase Farms. The kids were excited to pick their own pumpkins and run through the corn maze. But during the trip a tsunami swarmed through Chase Farms. It was a cold, wet, muddy adventure. Had I been wearing some type of head gear to shield me from said tsunami, I might have enjoyed myself a little more. I kept waiting for the other parents to say, "Hey, this is really cold and rainy...I don't want the kids to get sick...let's go back to school." Nobody did though. I guess the important part is that Jack had fun. He got to feed a goat, run through a muddy maze to find an apple, and sit next to his whiny mom on the wet wagon. I can't wait for the field trip to the Del Monte Lodge and Spa.

At first I thought he was going to try and ride the goat. Phew.

In the corn maze with his apple and very happy. Too bad I didn't get a shot of when he dropped the apple moments later in the mud. No worries..he just ran back and got another one.

This picture is blurry because it was pouring out and my hair is saturated.

Despite the storm, Jack wanted to take time for a photo

Oh Carrie...you don't get sick from being cold and getting wet outside, you get sick from the germs inside! Haha.
Despite the "bad" time had by mom, looks like it was a memorable day :)

Oh my gosh. These photos of these kids in jackets and hats and gloves are killing me. It was close to 80 here earlier this week. Cold(er) today, though.

Jack totally does look like he's about to jump up on that goat and ride away.
