A quick visit to Michigan
We know it's been too long when our kids start asking to see the Lokers and we have to create a countdown because they have that much excitement of anticipation. We were able to head up to Michigan this past weekend for a quick visit. On Friday evening after school we drove up to stay with Lokers. Saturday morning we watched Owen's last soccer game while all the other kids played football in the field adjacent to the game. After soccer we traveled on over to a pumpkin patch that we enjoy all things fall together there.
Silly silly kids!
The corn maze is always an activity the kids look forward to! This maze is quite complex and requires intense directional skills to make it successfully to the exit. We split into two groups...Bill lead Carter, Jackson, and Landon. While Laura and I followed behind Owen, Abby, and Nolan. Our team spent most of the time finding dead ends and peeing on the corn stalks. We were so good at the maze that we ended up right back where we started within 20 minutes. Bill's team finished the complete maze in 40 minutes with complete satisfaction of achievement.
This activity is called the duck races and it is so funny how much the kids love to pump water onto rubber ducks that travel down pipes filled with water.
There are quite a few animals at the farm for the kids to see. Owen and Nolan loved the piglets the most.
Best part of the place...the extra large corn kernel pit. They could have stayed here all day long. I am still finding kernels in my drying machine.
The cow train is a fun little ride pulled by a tractor over the hills in the field.
This lady makes me laugh and smile all at the same time!
The kids all worked together taking turns putting corn into each others clothing and then trying to walk around with it inside. This was hysterical.
We shot corn on the cob through these blaster guns toward targets
Finally we ended with a sweet treat of doughnuts, caramel apples, and apple cider.
Silly gourds
To relax and warm up we went back to Lokers house where Nolan was a bit obsessed with loving on their cats. They were so willing to let him carry them around the house.
The end of our visit was a Halloween trick or treat at Greenfield Village.
Even though it was super duper cold the kids had a blast. I love that no matter how long it is between our visits with Lokers, our kids pick up right where they left off.
