Ottawa Farms

The day after we went on the Halloween Hike to Oatland Island, we decided to go to Ottawa Farms in Bloomingdale. My mom and Skyler went along with us.  

It was so much fun! Of course it was like 85 degrees outside that day, so we were hot, but it was so nice. 

We got there pretty early, so we played around in the field for a little while until we got to go in.

We started out at the bouncy, where Caycen just played at the end of, and Skyler got to go down the HUGE slide.

Next, we went to the pumpkin patch.

After that, Skyler and Caycen rode on the cow train. It was so cute because Skyler got to have Caycen sit with him the entire time.  He was such a great big cousin!!!

Next, we went to the little wooden tractor and Caycen got to pretend he was driving. Of course he kept saying "choo choo"... he thinks every vehicle makes that noise I guess.

We played the little water pumping game with rubber duckies.

After a while, we were beginning to get hot and needed some water. We took a little break, then Skyler and Chance had a very INTENSE checkers game :)

After our little break, we went to pet some of the animals. Caycen LOVED feeding the goats and petting the pigs' noses. His buddy Sawyer, who was there with his mommy (and my friend), Alison, loved the animals too! They were all so cute.

Skyler decided he wanted to play in the room FULL of corn.

We even got to watch a pig race! Caycen thought it was cool!

After about 2 hours of fun, Caycen was pooped! Skyler and my mom decided they really wanted to do the corn maze, so while they did that, we went back to the car... and FELL ASLEEP!

Ottawa Farms was SO.MUCH.FUN!!! I will definitely be taking him again next year :)

Hope you enjoyed this post!

God Bless,

Halloween Hike

We started celebrating Halloween around mid-October with a little Halloween Hike out at Oatland Island.  It was so much fun because my mom (Caycen's Grandma) and Skyler, my nephew got to come for the weekend.  Our friends Amanda, Brandon, and Ashley all came with their youngins too.  Oatland Island is a Wildlife Center that has tons of different animals.

For the Hike, the kids got to dress up in their costumes and walk around Oatland Island. The staff members were dressed up as different animals and the kids got to go up to each animal and get candy.  At the end of the hike there was a little hayride to take you back to the front. Inside the building there were tons of other animals, crafts, and activities for the kids to get into.  When you walked back out to the front, there were even pony rides.  All of the kids had a BLAST!

 We had the cutest little kids there!

I think he's trying to be scary here :)

looking at the fox (He LOVED the animals!)

Here we got to see Mother Goose and sing different nursery rhymes

 We're singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" here (Little C's favorite song!)

Petting a snake!!!

Digging for DINOSAUR teeth and bones!

Skyler got to hold the owl and the other kids got to pet it. Skyler was really strong! :)

Skyler rode the pony, while my little dinosaur got into mischief by standing on the fence and all the other babies wanted to do it too!

We had SO.MUCH.FUN!!!!

I think next year it would be even more fun for Caycen and the other babes, because they will be able to do the crafts and all too.

What a great HIKE :)
