Our friends Beth, Peter, Liz and Dale brought their kids and a bunch of friends out to the farm yesterday. In addition to hay wagon riding, pumpkin picking, animal feeding and general running around, Dan came up with a couple of novel activities for the group. He set the moms up by asking if it was OK for kids to climb up the silo -- of course the answer was "no," but it made scrambling up into the hay mow seem tame by comparison. He also took the hay ride down into the cow pasture, where our "heirloom" apple tree stands. The wagon slats were perfect perches for apple picking. The apples were a hit, even though they are completely natural (i.e., a worm here and there). With cousins here on top of it all, it was a pretty good day all around.
