Brumbaugh Fruit Farm

Some friends of ours told us about a local fruit farm that has lots of fun activities for kids. We decided to check it out when Grandma "B" was up for a visit. It is such a cute place. Jenna enjoyed it, but I look forward to going back next year when Jenna's older and will REALLY enjoy it.

How creative is this...it's like a sandbox, but instead of sand it's kernels of corn.

Moooo....Jenna loved the cows!

Jenna found some chickens there and was quite intrigued. She kept following them around.

There was also an area filled with hay bales for the kids to play on. Jenna climbed on them some, but was more interested in watching the other kids play.

There were some tricycles sitting out for the kids to ride and Jenna hopped right on one, however she doesn't know how to pedal. She tried though.

Grant did a good job sleeping most of the time we were there.

Grandma B and Jenna taking a walk

One of Jenna's favorite slides there. She kept going down it again and again.

They had this corn maze that we assumed was a short one for kids to go through, so we thought we'd give it a try...15 minutes later we cheated and walked through the corn to get out.

On a hayride - Jenna wanted to walk around so she wasn't too happy having to sit the whole time.

Wergerzyn Gardens

Some friends of ours introduced us to a wonderful garden that is for both kids and adults. There are some beautiful walking paths and gazebos for the adults to enjoy and then a great activity area for the kids that is also educational. Jenna and I first visited with some friends, but then had to go back and bring Daddy. We had a great time exploring and playing!

Right when we walked in Jenna saw the "bird" (flamingo) hiding in the greenery.

They have a few caves that the kids can walk/run through.
Jenna loved running in and out of them.

How cute are these little rocking chairs?!?

Jenna and Mommy were in the canoe singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".

There's a musical section of the garden with lots of different instruments for the kids to play and bang on. Jenna especially liked the gong.

This was probably both Jenna and our favorite section. The kids can use the pump to fill some watering cans and then they go around and water the plants. Very fun...and messy!

Just as we began to walk through the "adult" section it started to rain,
so we had to cut our trip short, but we had a great time while we were there.

Feeding the ducks

Back in the beginning of September, we walked to our neighborhood park and brought along some (older) bread to feed the ducks. We weren't sure how "into it" Jenna would be but thought it might be fun. She did really well throwing the bread pieces for the ducks, although it usually ended up being one for her and then one for the ducks. Luckily the bread wasn't moldy yet. :) The ducks got rather close, which she enjoyed. And of course we had to play afterward - Jenna's a true outdoor girl. She LOVES being outside and especially enjoys the playground.
