Black Island Farms

Last Friday we went to the Black Island Farms pumpkin patch.  It is in Syracuse so it was a little bit of a drive, but worth it!  Along with the pumpkin patch they have lots of slides, a kernel pit, tunnels, animals, train rides, bounce house, and other fun things to do.  Avery was looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch for over a month!  We rode on a trailer pulled by a tractor over to the pumpkin patch and they let everyone off to go pick their pumpkins!

After we picked out pumpkins we put them in the back of the van and headed in again.  We ate lunch then went to see some animals.  Our favorite was the goose.  Avery and that goose had a good conversation!  Avery would honk at it and it would honk back at her!  It went on for a good minute.  Avery loved it!  We wanted to stay longer, but there was a line forming waiting for us to move on.  

After the goose we headed over to some fun swings and a hay tunnel.  Then Avery ran off to the slides so we followed her over!

Avery ran off on her own to this big black tube slide.  Louis went after her and she insisted she wanted to go down it.  So Louis took her up, but at the top when she saw how high it was she freaked out!  There was only one way down though!  She was not happy.  

The rest of the day went well.  We played some music, rode on a train, Jon and Louis shot some corn, (Louis won) we went through some more tunnels and down some more slides.  It was such a fun day for all of us at the pumpkin patch!
