We went to Heavenly Hill Farm. We went on a hayride, picked apples, did a treasure hunt, picked small pumpkins, went in a bounce house, and frolicked through a corn maze. WOW!! That was a lot of activity and yes, I survived, barely.
Once we got to Heavenly Hill, I introduced myself to the mom's that I didn't know. Here I am worried about Celie not having the social skills by not going to preschool, but she went up to every person, adult and child and said, "Hi! I'm Celie!" One of the mom's that I know, Katie, said, "Boy, she isn't shy," as her boy/girl twins clung to her leg. I guess I really do not have anything to worry about.
So off we went on a hayride. Celie and Anna both loved it. The hayride went through the apple orchard and in the trees, they had hung stuffed animals for something for the "kids" to find. Pics of Anna & Celie on the hayride.
Once we were in the middle of the orchard, it was off the wagon and out to pick apples and put them in the bucket they provided.

Next it was back on the wagon to the "high" grass area. This is where the girls were in search of baby pumpkins. They were small pumpkins that were tossed in high grass for the kids to find.
Then it was to a park like area where there was a treasure hunt set up. This wasn't very popular with my girls and Anna had a meltdown when I wouldn't let her have the pumpkin of some one else as we waited for all of the other kids to finish. Yes, I got a pic of that too.
Then it was back to the Main Barn area. We split the group into 2. One group went to the bouncy house and the other in the corn maze and then we switched. The girls loved the bouncy house. You can actually see Celie get some air in her pic.
Next we switched with the other group and went in to the corn maze. Snow White greeted us at the beginning of the maze and we were told that she was in search of the seven dwarfs and next to each of the dwarfs was a prize. So, each child was to get 7 prizes.
So in we went. The maze was pretty cool, but the ground was fairly bumpy and pretty rugged. Anna had a hard time with the path, but Celie was the awesome. She was way ahead of us and found the 1st dwarf with Anne & her kids. Celie didn't quite grasp the concept of the prizes until she found the first dwarf. Then she wanted to continue, but Anna was having a meltdown, so Anne offered to take Celie with her and her twins to find a few more dwarfs. I thanked her a ton and Celie went along graciously. Anna was having a fit and wanted to go back into the bouncy house once we were out of the maze. I didn't let her because it wasn't her turn. And we had to wait for Celie, so I put her in the van as we waited for Celie. Boy, what a little stinker. Celie came out with Anne's kids and they all were saying good bye to Snow White and thanking her for their prizes. I thanked Anne for taking Celie. Celie said, "Look Mama, Look at my prizes!!" She was so proud & so was I that she was independent and was plowing through the maze better than me. Here is a pic of Celie & Anna in the maze.
We all got into the van and headed for home. It was a great 1st field trip!
