Full Moon Farm

Saturday afternoon we decided to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and headed to Full Moon Farm for a day of family fun. My sweet husband was even willing to leave his perch in front of the televison and miss the entire second half of the Georgia game...now that's dedication to family;) Full Moon Farm is located in Oxford, AL and has tons of activities for kids all ages. 

The central attraction of the farm is a corn maze which was designed by one of the world's leading designers in corn mazes and features a labyrinth in the shape of the Statue of Liberty.

 It was definitely a family affair with my parents and two year old niece, Emily, tagging along. Emily pulled Granddaddy around from activity to activity. She got to feed a goat in the little petting zoo, played in the corn kernel box, and ambled her way over the tire climb. She discovered her favorite activity of the day was the Bounce House which was nearly impossible to get her out of (cue: total MELTDOWN when we made her climb out).

Britton and Emily got to take their very first hay ride, and they absolutely loved it:) Mommy enjoyed herself, too.

The fellas took the kids on the Pumpkin Express Train while Mommy and Grandma decided to just sit back and watch.

Emily was a little timid about the huge bouncy/climbwall/slide thing so she encouraged her Uncle Bubba to accompany her through the obstacle which he was more than happy to oblige.

I wonder who was having more fun?!?

We got a a lot of pictures of Britton at his first pumpkin patch experience. He was such an angel during the whole day, and obviously loved being in the sunshine with the cool Autumn breeze in his hair.

A trip to Full Moon Farms is definitely a tradition that we will continue for years to come. The only problem was that by the time the kids were tired and ready for dinner, Bubba and I had not had a chance to go through the corn maze:(



 Luckily, we were able to take full advantage of the free babysitting and headed back to the farm after the kidlets went to bed. We decided to tackle the corn maze in the dark which in my opinion made it spookier and more challenging. Just when I thought we were never going to make our way out, and Bubba was surely going to have to carry me piggyback while we aimlessly wandered in the dark, we finally found the exit....lucky Bubba!!! We then joined a dear old friend of mine who just so happens to be the co-owner of Full Moon and his sweet wife around the fire pit for a marshmallow roast and s'more making...yum!!! Then Bubba and the rest of the guys enjoyed the bouncy slides until it was time to go home. A place like Full Moon reminds us that we all remain kids at heart:)
