On Monday, Chandler's Campfire group headed off to Oak Glen, ostensibly to pick apples. But we were told the day before that the apple-picking season was over. So we headed off anyways to see what we could find to do!
We started off with breakfast and then to a petting zoo next door. These girls really love animals, so they spent a ton of time feeding the goats and pigs and sheep. Then we spent some time getting the poop off our shoes!
They had a lot of fun feeding the cow by placing the corn on the fence and then she would lick it off with her green tongue.
We headed off to Riley's Farm after that. It is by far the biggest in the area. They had a lot of tours and activities going on, but no apples!
We found this area out back where you could play with the kind of toys kids might have played with 100 years ago. Regan was actually a natural at getting the hoop to roll with a stick.
Nearby we noticed the tomahawk throwing. Chandler instantly wanted to do it, but Regan and her friend Julia were afraid they'd chop off their own heads. I was a little more worried about their aim and my own head!
We finished the day with an old-fashioned hay ride and learned some of the history of Oak Glen. It really was a nice day!
Of course one of the best parts was enjoying real fall color! What a beautiful place.
