The kids and I made our first trip to
the Center Grove Orchard on September 27th., which is an apple orchard
and pumpkin patch about 20 miles out of town with lots of fun things to
do. It was a beautiful morning and we had lots of fun! First the kids
fed the goats, which Archer loved! He loves pointing out any animal we
see and feeding them too! Then we played in the 3 little pigs houses
and went to the tea party of Alice in Wonderland. Avalon thinks the
pigs houses are so much fun! I'm not sure why, because all you do is
run in and out of them. And sometimes she tries to blown them down.
Next we headed to the corn pool. I
know, only in Iowa, do they have a corn pool. Yes, it is a large pool
that is filled with shelled corn. The kids love it! I have to post a
cute pic from the first time we went to the Orchard last year, so you
can get the idea of what a corn pool is like.
Next,
we headed over to the jumping pillow, which is like a bounce house with
no walls, so the kids love it! Then we went to my favorite part, the
super slide, where I got to ride on a burlap sack with the kids down a
large hill. It's lots of fun! Lastly, we rode some pedal tractors and
went on a hay ride to see the pumpkin patch. All in all, a very fun
day! We have a season pass, so we'll go again soon.

What a great place and great idea. Iowa is fun!!!
A corn pool? Really? That is awesome. I would totally feel like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his money bin. I've got to talk to someone at Lane Farms about this...
