BLACK ISLAND FARM

THIS LAST WEEKEND I HAD TO BEG, BEG, AND DO SOME MORE BEGGING TO GET MY FAMILY TO GO TO BLACK ISLAND FARM OUT IN SYRACUSE. JEFF WAS TIRED, ZACH WANTED TO GO UP TO NORTH OGDEN AND HANG OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS , AND LEXIE JUST DIDNT WANT TO GO. WELL I PUT MY FOOT DOWN AND TOLD THEM THAT WE ARE ALL GOING AS A FAMILY. THE CAR RIDE OUT THERE WAS PRETTY QUIET. WE STOOD IN LINE FOR A SHORT TIME. JEFF COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PRICE AND ZACH JUST KEPT TEXTING HIS FRIENDS AND KEPT ASKING HOW COME HE HAD TO COME, AND LEXIE JUST COMPLAINED SHE WAS TIRED....... WELL, WE WALKED THROUGH THE ENTRANCE AND ALL 3 OF THEM WERE LIKE....OMG!!! THIS PLACE IS HUGE WHAT SHOULD WE DO FIRST!? ZACH, LEXIE, AND JEFF TOOK OFF RUNNING OVER TO THE SLIDES AND I REALLY DIDNT SEE THEM FOR 10-15 MINUTES!!!! I COULD NOT FIND THEM!YEP!!!! THEY WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN!!! ALL 3 OF THEM WERE LAUGHING AND THEY KEPT REPEATING "LETS GO AGAIN!" WE PLAYED ON THOSE SLIDES FOR PROBABLY HALF AN HOUR! JEFF AND ZACH FOUND THE TEETER-TOTTER!!! OF ALL THINGS THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT BALANCE.... I LOVED THE LITTLE CROOKED HOUSE...OF COURSE, LEXIE THINKS WE NEED TO HAVE ONE. THEY HAVE AN AREA FULL OF CORN KERNELS THAT LEXIE THOUGHT WAS PRETTY COOL. SHE IS MAKING A CORN- ANGEL HERE. JEFF AND I GOOFING OFF IN A TUNNEL UNDER THE HAYSTACKS!NOT THAT KIND OF GOOFING OFF I JUST WANTED A PICTURE OF JEFF AND I. ZACH TOOK A CUTE PICTURE! ANYWAYS, WE HEADED OVER TO THE ANIMAL BARREL THINGY. WHATEVER ..... I LOVE THE LOOK ON JEFFS FACE...PRICELESS HUH!!! HE LOOKS SO EXCITED LIKE A LITTLE KID!!!I HAVE TO TELL YOU...I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD CAUSE JEFF WAS LIKE... OH YEAH ADULTS CAN RIDE ON THIS TOO!!!! LOOK I AM GOING TO RIDE IN THE PIG!!

WELL AFTER MY 3 KIDS ENJOYED ALL THE "RIDES" AND PLAYED WITH MOST EVERYTHING I TOOK LEXIE TO GET A LIGHT SABER SO WE COULD GO IN THE CORN MAZE. WE FORGOT OUR FLASHLIGHTS! WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT MY SARCASTIC FAMILY...REMEMBER THEY DIDNT WANT TO COME... THE CORN WAS SO TALL. I AM GUESSING AT LEAST 15 FT. TALL AND ITS A GOOD THING WE HAD BOUGHT LEXIE THAT LIGHT SABER CAUSE IT WAS DARK WITHOUT IT TURNED ON. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING....ZACH WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT HE DIDNT GET A LIGHT SABER SO I TOOK HIM TO GO GET ONE. MY 2 KIDS HAD US LAUGHING ALL NIGHT LONG. ZACH WAS PRETENDING HE WAS IN STAR WARS AND THE REST OF US WERE IN STITCHES OVER HIS ACTING. WE PROBABLY WALKED 5 MILES EASILY THAT NIGHT. THE MAZES WERE AWESOME AND VERY LONG...BUT WE HAD LUKE SKY-WALKER AND PRINCESS LAYA(SPELLING) TO GET US OUT SAFELY. YOU KNOW... I AM LAUGHING AS I AM TYPING THIS POST!
OK, AFTER THE MAZE WE HEADED OVER THE HAYRIDE TO GET OUR PUMPKINS. IT WAS PRETTY COLD OUT AND IT WAS CLOSE TO 11 PM. BUT WE ENJOYED THE RIDE OUT TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH. THE TRACTOR DRIVER WAS PRETTY FUNNY WITH HIS SOUTHERN DRAWL AND ALL. WE TOOK THE PUMPKINS BACK TO THE CAR AND HEADED BACK IN . MY 3 KIDS WERE NOT DONE PLAYING YET. WE GOT HOT CHOCOLATE AND SAT AROUND THE FIREPIT TO WARM UP AND THEN HEADED BACK OVER TO THE SLIDES. WHEN WE FINALLY DECIDED WE HAD HAD ENOUGH I HAD STOPPED THESE GIRLS AND ASKED IF THEY COULD TAKE OUR PICTURE....WHICH THEY DID... I HAD TO PULL A GOOD ONE OFF ON ZACH... I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD LET ME TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM....WITH ZACH IN IT OF COURSE... HE WAS ON CLOUD 9!!! I HAVE TO TELL YOU.... LEXIE FELL ASLEEP WITHIN 5 FIVES OF BEING IN THE CAR. ZACH TOLD US HE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND WAS SO GLAD THAT WE CAME! JEFF TOLD ME WE GOT OUR MONEYS WORTH AND HE CANT WAIT TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR. YEP....I PATTED MYSELF ON MY BACK THAT NIGHT!!!!! AND MY KIDS ARE STILL PLAYING WITH THEIR LIGHT SABERS.....
