Trip to Leeds Farm

One of my absolute favorite activities to do in the fall, besides the Circleville Pumpkin Show, is spending a few hours at Leeds Farm in Ostrander.  It's only about a 20 min drive north of our house and while it's a bit pricey (especially since we actually had to pay for Lucy this year), it's definitely worth it. We've always gone at the end of September on one of the first couple weekends it's open because typically the weather is a bit warmer than mid-October, it's not as crowded, and by the time October rolls around, we have plenty of other fall/Halloween activities and events to do.  We went this past Saturday and arrived shortly after it opened at 10:00 AM.  We, mainly Lucy, spent the next 3 hours going down slides, playing in the hay barns, riding the banana bus, riding the pedal carts, and taking a horse-drawn hayride.  So much fun and next year will be even better once Cece is walking and can actually play a bit more.

Lucy could've spent all day going down these slides

Cece & Daddy took a turn...

and then I went down with Cece

Next up were the mountain slides

Lucy was "catching" daddy & Cece

Beautiful fall day with my girls

Todd & Lucy on the pedal carts (Lucy's legs just weren't quite long enough yet to reach the pedals to push)

Took a quick snack break--pumpkin cookie for Lucy and a pumpkin donut for the rest of us

Usually the hayrides are pulled by a tractor but this past weekend they had horse drawn hayrides

Off it goes!

Too much cuteness

Lucy did the mini-zipline a few times before we left

Weeee!
