Visit To Stoney Ridge Farm

Tina and I headed out north today on an afternoon adventure. We went about as far north as we could and still be in the "lower 48". Our Destination was Stoney Ridge Farm. All three boys were invited but the only one who came along was the one who didn't have a choice. The big ones had been before, and apparently both had more pressing social events to attend.
Hui-Hui, the boy who came along, was quite interested in the whole operation. Stoney Ridge Farm is basically a roadside attraction out in the county. Today was their last day for pumpkin stuff and by the time we got there it was pretty quiet. We took advantage of a couple of the photo ops they have set up...

Hui-Hui was pretty suspicious about what was going on with all of this, and was even less sure of the animals they had on display...

So when we saw the old guy with the barrel train we thought, "no way is Hui-Hui going to do that."
WRONG!

He spotted it and wanted in! I'm thinking, "yeah, right. I'll put you in, but as soon as this guy pulls out you are going to freak, and I'm going to have to chase this guy down and save you...
WRONG!

And the old guy driving it was a nut too! It was a fast, bumpy, whip around kind of train ride. Loved every minute of it!

So once again we are shown, you cannot predict how kids will react. Fun Times!
