Despite the temperatures continuing to change from hot to cool... I am ready for Fall and all that comes along with it: cooler temperatures, football, pumpkin everything, & wonderful family traditions. A new tradition for us might be Hillridge Farms. It is a fabulous farm in Youngsville, NC near Nick's office. It is like a mini Disney like fair for kids! We met up with Camille's friend Mary for some fall fun.
The first big adventure of the day was riding a pony! At first, Camille did not want to get on. After she saw that Mary was riding too and that Mommy was holding on to her, she agreed to sit. She was completely fine once the pony started moving and loved it. She still leaned a bit to the side to make sure she could feel Mommy next to her. It was so cute to watch the girls riding the ponies!
The next adventure was the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We piled up on the ride and made our way to the patch to pick out our pumpkins. Camille went to the first one she saw and picked it up. She kept saying "heavy." She also enjoyed rolling the big ones around. Once she picked out the pumpkins she wanted, she would yell "Daddy" for Nick to come pick the pumpkins up and carry them :) After she had decided upon three, one for each of us, she enjoyed running through the patch and trying to dodge all the pumpkins.
The highlight of the day for both girls was the carousel bounce house. It was the perfect size and for the most part, the girls had it all to themselves. They had a ball and had to be coaxed out.
To end the farm fun, Camille went down a huge slide with Daddy. It was hard to catch on camera, but I got a pretty good action shot.
We had a wonderful time and look forward to trying it out again next year.
