Cox Farms

We were completely amazed last year when we showed up to Cox Farm expecting a small hayride and a few slides and found a toddlers heaven on earth instead. Ethan literally ran from slide to slide and activity to hayride for 3 hours (and then he crashed in the car on the way home). I was so impressed that I convinced Taylor to come along with us this year (not hard to convince him to procrastinate his homework on a Friday afternoon). And it was so nice to have his help because it was a little chilly and Isaac prefered staying in the stroller so I stayed at the bottom of most of the slides/hills while Taylor dutifully took Ethan up and down and up and down and even rode a few himself!
Just one of the 30 or so slides.

Our good friends the Gilberts came along with us. That's little Kennedy's head at the back of the frog slide.

Ethan tried the rope swing too but mostly just face planted into the foam so I included Kennedy's picture instead. She's only 1 1/2 but she held on until her mom actually had to pry her loose!

I think this was everyone's favorite. They actually close it if it rains (tragic). That's Ethan next to Taylor and Isaac at the top.

And here's the bottom picture. Isaac really loves slides at our local playground but for whatever reason he was rather neutral about these. He was happier in the stroller and out of the wind.

They also had a 20 minute "haunted" hayride that Ethan loved for the first 5 minutes until the scary alien in the picture to the right came out. Then he sat a little closer to his dad.

And what farm would be complete without animals to pet and feed. They actually let you feed the goats feed inside of ice cream cones- which the animals loved. Ethan prefered petting to feeding. The goats did not.

And one more slide just for fun. Again both kids crashed on the drive home and slept 2 hours after that once we got home. Yeah for big hills with slides (and a good husband who went up and down them so I didn't have to!)
