Hill Ridge Farm

My friend Brooke (who I grew up with and now lives in Raleigh with us),  and I went to Hill Ridge Farm with the kids right before Halloween.  We had been trying to get together, but with our crazy schedules and Drew in school it had been a difficult task.  The kids all had a teacher's workday on this particular Friday and so off we went!  Everyone had a great time...even little Bella and Bridgie (Bridget).  It was nice to hang out with my friend and catch up...something we need to do more often!

The boys all bundled up

The slide was Drew's favorite...

It was really just a long corrugated tube that you slid down on a burlap sack...but lots of fun!

Even Miss Independent loved the slide as you can see...by the end she walked all the way up with her own burlap sack...not a baby anymore!

This is Brooke and her daughter Bridget who was born about 2 months after Bella

The kids loved playing in the dried corn...Bella was a bit hesitant at first, but then literally jumped right in!

Hopefully these 2 will be friends forever too!

This is Brooke's oldest daughter Grace, who was born about a month before Max

I do not even remember why she was so upset, but I thought it was cute

This is a hay maze and as you cen see, Bella has no fear!
