Schnepf Farms






Ryan and Elyse were on one of their school breaks and I wanted to do something fun with them, I had heard about Schnepf farms pumpkin and chili festival and knew that there would be some fun things for all of us. It was a lot of fun, our unseasonably warm weather was the only hindrance. We went on a Hay ride around the farm and stopped at some miniature deer to feed them, the driver told us some facts about the fully operational 300 acre farm, that was interesting. We got to ride the Carousel which was of course a treat for Ben since he thinks they are so cool right now. There were goats and other animals you could pet in the petting zoo but it freaked Ben out and he wanted nothing to do with touching the animals. Then the kids wanted to go on a train ride around it, that was nice, a little breezy too which helped. Then we stopped off at a little store and go sodas before riding a Bee ride, roller-coaster, swinging ride and going through the corn maze. We walked one last time through the pumpkin patch before ending by getting the best Lemonades Elyse and I had ever had. All in all, a fun fall activity that I would do again, as long as the temps are way below 95.
