Cox Farms

We had a wonderful family adventure at Cox Farms last weekend. I absolutely love this place! They have farm animals, slides and rope swings, climbing hay mountains, hay rides, apple cider, and pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins. The slides are so much fun because all of us can partake - Alex was brave enough to go by himself but Hannah had to sit on my lap. Each slide has a different theme: volcano, miner's mine shaft, winding slide through the pig barn, dinosaur's back, etc. Alex liked the miner slide because it was bumpy and went through a long tunnel; I liked the winding slide through the pig barn; but we all loved the gigantic dinosaur slide.

Of course Alex and Jeff had to try out the rope swings. And we finished the day off with the hay ride. The kids loved the hay ride. If you look closely enough you might spot Snoopy characters, CareBears, SpongeBob, or any number of other critters. We were followed by space aliens and got stuck in the pond and Farmer Cox had to pull us out. The finale of the ride was the "spooky barn" where all the creatures (including with Alex and Hannah) danced and clapped to Happy Halloween songs. Alex thought the ride was "sooo awesome". (He is going to have his socks knocked off when we go to Disney World next month).
