Oliver and I went yesterday with some friends to Miller Farms. It is a family farm that lets you go and pick your own produce. You pay $15.00 to get in (kids are free) and they have tons of fun kid activities like a petting zoo, playground, corn maze, tractor racing, etc., after all that you hitch a hay ride to the different fields and harvest your own veggies. Each person is allowed to pick 10 huge bags of produce to take home with them. It is an enormous amount of food. We came home with bags full of fresh corn, beets, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, peppers and carrots. And, we had a lot of fun in the process.
Here is Oliver and Reese Koyle posing for a picture. These guys are best friends (unless they have to share something :)
Here we are picking carrots, don't worry, I managed to knock most of the dirt off that carrot before Oliver stuffed it into his mouth. He sampled absolutely everything from the onions to the corn. He nibbled almost as fast as I could pick!
Here we are in the back of the hay wagon.
Oliver's favorite would definitely have to be the tomatoes. He discovered, much to his delight, that he could squeeze them and make a fountain of juice and seeds squirt out the top. I left him alone for just a second and this is what I came back to. Happy, but messy.
The produce we picked was not at all wimpy. This onion is roughly the size of my head!

That looks like so so so much fun! I am totally jealous that you get to pick pumpkins, have a hay ride, and essentially a perfect Anne of GG Day! There isn't even a patch here for me to pay for an over priced gourd!
That's awesome! You'd have to eat it all pretty fast so it doesn't go bad though! Maybe make some Pabeyon (wow! totally forgot how to spell that! pabellon?hmm...you'll have to let me know!)
Yahoo! We'll do it again!
We missed you at the zoo today! I called, were you already gone?
Holy cow, I wish we had something like that in Cedar City! The food only would have cost more than $15 at the grocery store, but it looked like a really fun outing too! I'm totally jealous. By the way, we finally had Kaylee's pics done with Emily at Wink Fotos and they turned out super cute. Thanks for the referral!
Wow that looks like a lot of fun. Oliver looks so cute on all the pictures. And I thought Staheli Farms was cool here, not even close to what you have.
He looks like he was having so much fun! We miss you guys!
