Country Mill Farms

A bunch of us went to Country Mill Farms on Saturday. We picked apples, attempted a corn maze, petted the goats,played on the playground, and enjoyed fresh doughnuts and cider. Fun, fun, fun!! Some of the cousins: Annabelle, Gracie, Drew, and Ellie (left to right).

Makana enjoying a snack. She would have eaten the entire apple if her dad didn't stop her once she hit the core :)


Uncle Nate getting us all lost in the corn maze.


It wasn't a true petting zoo but the kids enjoyed the goats through the fence. Ellie kept asking, "Aunt Sarah, will they bite me?!?!"
Later Saturday afternoon Tom needed to mow the grass so my mom and I took the kids for a hike. We found a really nice trail along the Grand River. The leaves are starting to turn and their reflection on the water was beautiful. Of course the boys didn't notice the scenery. They spent most of the time hauling tree branches saying they were going to take them home so we could roast marshmallows. After Reese took a limb to his ear and Drew almost lost an eye my mom and I talked them into dropping their arm load of branches. We might need to talk Grandpa Gheen into having a bonfire (with marshmallows) when we head south in a few weeks.
