It is so pretty here. Like, insanely picturesque. I spend most of the time while we're driving craning my neck to see it all. Or hollering at my iPhone because it's not taking the picture like I want it to.
There were lots of fun activities at the farm and we were so lucky to have some sunshine!
The girls got their faces painted for the very first time - Andi a spider, and Arlie a butterfly.
There were inflatable horse races made extra hilarious by the fact that the girls' legs didn't reach the ground. Good thing daddy and a volunteer were there to help them out and make sure their horses reached the finish line.
Don't forget the tractor ride, this one made unique by the fact that we were driving past reindeer. I'll have to check into what kind of Christmas activities they have. I mean, it'd kind of make sense, right?
There was also the largest, most elaborate hay maze I've ever been in. Ever. It started getting ridiculous. Andrew was the only one tall enough to look over the enormous hay bales which was helpful but it also meant we had a crowd of short people nipping at our heels as they didn't have that advantage. It sounds so funny now but at the time I was getting irritated at how often my heels were stepped on or kicked - they must have been truly afraid they were going to be lost in the maze forever.
There's no such thing as a pumpkin patch here in Alaska. At least not one that I was able to find. This farm bought pumpkins from Washington to strew about a field. Bonus points for their efforts to bring the pumpkin patch feel to Alaska!
My pumpkins.
