94 degree fall fun

While the trees are beginning to drop some leaves and change a few shades of fall colors, our weather lately has not indicated Autumn is here...at. all.  I'm sure as soon as I post this, the next day will be cooler weather with jeans & sweaters and no air conditioning...but right now, we are in quite the hot weather rut for mid Sept. Thus, when handed a 1/2 price Wednesday at Rader Family Farms in Normal on a 95 degree day, one must press on...so I rounded up a friend & off we went.  Reese, Haven & little Ms. Kennedy had a great time...even with Haven's slight cold (I know...she has a snotty nose & it's 90 degrees out!) & sweaty faces, the girls had a great time.  It's a fun place to take the kids for a 1/2 day or a few hours...especially when (did I already mention this? :) it's 1/2 price Wednesday. 

While we were disappointed to find out they didn't have their pumpkin & apple donuts for sale yet, we weren't disappointed in our runner-up choices of pumpkin bar & apple fritter & apple cider slushy-yum!

 Always a hit with kids is the giant bounce tent...

which it took Kennedy a bit to warm up to but then she loved it!





 One of Haven's favorite activities of the day was the corn cribs...I just cleaned out the bottom of my washing machine from her leftover pieces :)



Reese was the brave lady who got buried :)

Haven's 2nd favorite...the tunnel slide.



the chute jump

the hay bale jump









and when you are 3 of only 6 total kiddos there all morning you get an extra long train ride.

Kennedy sat in the barrel but didn't quite get brave enough to ride it in...soon dear Kinade!

My favorite picture of the day!
