Culpeper farm

Many weeks ago . . . so many, in fact, that it was the weekend of Halloween, we went to the Culpeper Farm with Pat's parents. It definitely ranked highest of all farms/fall festivals we went to and we will definitely go again! 

Here are a few of the pictures I took . . .



Creepy-eyed emu . . .



Curious donkeys . . .




Kia couldn't take her eyes off of the interesting animals!





That blue tongue!
If ever I was to get a cow, I would want one that looks like this:





Of course, we had to test out the corn maze . . .




Kateri had the best view of us all!




There were many areas for the kids to play, a long zip line, jungle gyms, bull-riding rides, pumpkin shooting, corn bins, rope swing into hay, and many other attractions.




A real saddle swing. Poor Kateri~ I couldn't find a hair tie once we were there!




Sebastian feels so comfortable with horses and donkeys, this little guy was especially sweet. Bashy looks like he was born and raised on a ranch out West!







And he is pretty relaxed whenever he rides a horse~ not bad for a two year old. Unfortunately, he has been asking for a horse for Christmas. Santa can do many things, but even he will be stumped at that request!

This pony was particularly ornery and kept biting the girl leading him.



Kateri loves riding as well, though she isn't quite as relaxed. She is so careful to hold VERY TIGHTLY to the saddle horn!






Sebastian picked out this little pumpkin. He looks so cute and little and manly I could just eat him up in this photo!




The tractor ride to the pumpkin patch was long and winding, passing long horn cattle and horses. There were pumpkins, gourds, and all sorts of things growing in the fields.




Some of our collection . . .




That is the face of an exhausted two year old doing his best to smile for the camera!





Kateri picked two little pumpkins . . .




Kia was good the whole time! Once again, ergo = lifesaver.



All in all, it was a lovely day and we will definitely go back. I highly recommend it for next year!

  1. yes--that emu! Intensity--you can believe they are related to dinosaurs... but Pat's black goat is crazy too, and I love the donkey's joy of life! Interesting how Bash feels comfortable on a horse, it's a gift don't you think? Comes natural to him... It will be interesting to see how it develops as he gets older!
