Cedar Hill Farms

Sunday afternoon we went to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, and Martin had a great time.  I am still recovering from all of the walking, but loved watching him have such a good time.  We got to see a singing chicken show (which Martin thought was totally hilarious afterwards---during he looked really concerned).  Martin rode the train and then watched the Pigadega 500.  Our team was the black team, and whenever you talk about the pig races, Martin says "quack quack quack".  Our team chant was "black black black" but Martin thought everyone was saying "quack quack quack".  Oh well!  We attempted a pony ride.  He wouldn't have any of it.  You couldn't pry his hands from around Bryan's neck to even get him on the pony....oh well maybe next year.

We walked around and looked at all sorts of animals.  Martin wasn't really interested in touching or feeding them....he did however enjoy them from his safety on the other side of the fence.  He liked the chickens, pigs, goats, cows, mini horses, mules, sheep, and rabbits.  Martin is such an outside child that he doesn't really care what you are doing, as long as you are outside, so he enjoyed all day!

Perhaps our favorite part was the corn box.  It was literally a small room filled with nothing but corn, and Martin LOVED every inch of it (as you can tell from all of the photos). 

Oh, the first rule is No Throwing Corn?  Sorry, I can't read yet!

"Popcorn"

Perhaps corn has therapeutic properties!



Fun in the small hay maze



We also played in the huge hay maze.  Martin wasn't exactly following the rules, but he was running around like a wild man, and he only cheated and stepped over the hay to get inside!  Then, he ran out and chased a girl to the woods.  Woah woah woah, come back buddy....you are too young for that :)   

Big hay maze= plenty of room to run!

Then we took a break from all the Fall Fun to play on the playground....Martin rode down the huge slide once (and I couldn't believe it), played in the sand box, and nearly walked right into a little girl swinging....oops!  Then we rode the tractor pulled hayride out to the Pumpkin Patch to pick a pumpkin.  Martin found a great walking stick within 2 minutes of being off the hayride.  He wasn't willing to part with the stick, so it was our souvenir for the day since he didn't want to pick a pumpkin.  He wanted to play bounce the pumpkin, and touch every single pumpkin out there....but didn't really care about taking one home.  Since he isn't old enough to throw a fit and ask for one....we didn't push the issue.  We picked some up the other day at The Garden Center anyway, so it isn't like he is missing out.  Plus the stick was free :)

 Then we went to the corn maze.  Their crop didn't do well this year (nor did anyone's anywhere around) so it was more of a corn tour than a maze!  Haha!  Martin didn't know any better, and enjoyed the view from Daddy's shoulders.  He kept saying "go dis way"....but it was usually the long way.  I don't think he wanted the day to be over.  All in all a great day on the farm.

Happy Fall Y'all!!!
