On Saturday Mike was on call, so Bailey, Avery and I went to a farm that was down the road. We went on a hayride, which dropped us off in a corn maze. I wasn't expecting a corn maze, and Avery was in her carseat. Managing the corn maze carrying that thing around was a little tricky. Bailey loved the maze. The corn was so tall- we really felt like we were lost in there. Once we got through the maze, we got to pick a pumpkin. They spread out lots of pumpkins in a big empty field. Bailey was a little trooper. She picked a little pumpkin, but it was still too heavy. I was loaded down with the carseat and my pumpkin, so I couldn't help her with hers. Every few feet she would drop her pumpkin and take a break. Finally, the guy who drove the tractor helped her carry her pumpkin. She is usually pretty shy with strangers, so I was surprised when she kept talking about the "really nice guy" who helped her carry her pumpkin. After we rode the tractor back, Mike met up with us. Then, Bailey went on a much anticipated pony ride. We had been talking about it for a while, and she made it clear she wanted to ride a little pony, not a big pony. When the time came, she was pretty scared. I put her the pony, and she really wanted to get off. Once the pony started walking, she felt a little bit better about it, but she would never actually touch the pony. Holding onto the saddle was about as much as she could handle. She thought it was pretty exciting.
We love fall in Columbus. There are so many fun things to do!
