Fall Fun - Cox Farms

We love to find fun places to have family fun in the fall. Even though the weather had been very warm and not very autumnal, we still wanted to get into the spirit so we took some time and went to a new place for us called Cox Farms. It wasn't that far from the house, only about 45 minutes which is not too bad of a drive with the girls.

There were a lot of people there when we arrived but it didn't stop us from having a good time. We played on bales of hay, saw lots of farm animals and rode down a lot of slides. Jasmine even got brave and tried out a rope swing for the first time.
One of my favorite parts was the goat petting area. Ava must have tried to pet every goat there. She was fearless and just giggles every time she caught up with a goat and patted him. Jasmine too was unafraid but I expected that since she is older.
We went on a hayride that was OK. I was disappointed that this farm didn't have pumpkin fields and that our hayride wouldn't be taking us to a field for pumpkin picking. To make up for it, they had made these painted wooden displays to keep our interest in the hayride. I didn't see many as I was holding Ava and the visibility wasn't good with all the other people on the wagon.
After some more slide riding (Lorne and I took turns going down with Jasmine), petting a horse, taking a few fun pictures and getting a small pumpkin to take home, we were done with our visit to Cox Farm and decided to call it a day. You can imagine both girls were asleep within five minutes of getting in the car!
On our way home, we stopped by and visited my parents and Ava played with Moto. I couldn't resist taking these cute pictures as she would get on Moto's bed and try to lay with her and sleep with her. Moto was so patient and didn't mind that Ava was bothering her.
