DOWN ON THE FARM

This past Sunday was unseasonably warm--a GREAT day for a trip to Walker Farm in Logan, Ohio. My Dad was born and raised in Southern Ohio and my sister and I used to visit my G'ma Walker during the summer months. We've made many trips to Hocking Hills and also to Walker Farm over the years. Trey's cousin and his family, along with their Japanese foreign exchange student--who mind you has NEVER been to the pumpkin patch--joined us for an afternoon "down on the farm". We had a wonderful time! John (Dad's cousin) took us on a hayride around the farm--skirting the corn maze and pumpkin patch. Of course, what trip to the farm wouldn't be complete without a walk over to the barn to view the cows and calves. We decided to brave the corn maze--I don't know if the kids enjoyed the corn maze more or the hay ride--both were a big hit! We concluded our trip to the farm with a walk through the pumpkin patch in search of the "perfect pumpkin". Both boys found a pumpkin worthy of carving--something Mom does much closer to Halloween. It was fun to catch up with Dad's cousin and his family (kids included) and Aunt Lucille (99 years old!) as well as spend an afternoon with Trey's cousin and his family.

We had a WONDERFUL afternoon at Walker Farm!
