Panning for GOld

Bloomsbury Farm had a little water run so that you could pan for gold. We didn't actually pan for gold, but the water was a lot of fun!

 
 
 

Pedal Buggies

Bloomsbury farms also had some fun pedal cars that Braedyn enjoyed.

 
 

Corn Maze

On out trip to Bloomsbury Farm we got to go in a huge corn maze. It was quite impressive. Nicholas and Elizabeth were with us to help show us the way out.

 
 
 
 

Bloomsbury Farm

When we were back in Iowa for Grandma Great's funeral we got to take an afternoon trip out to Bloomsbury Farm which we wanted to do on our previous visit two weeks prior, but ran short on time. This is a pumpkin patch on steroids. Leave it to Iowa to do it all the way. It is the middle of the country so they should know how to do farms. There were all sorts of fun, really creative things for kids to do. Braedyn especially enjoyed the bouncy pillow, pipe tube slide and the water pumps. This place was a blast for a young kid. At the end of the day Braedyn announced to his MeMa and Papa that he liked this farm, Bloomsbury, better than the other farm (where they plan to build their dream house in the next year or two). Oops!

 

 
 
 

Grandma Great

We were not home long from our trip to Ia and we got the call that Grandma Great had passed away. So not even two weeks later we were back on a plane to Iowa for her funeral. She was an awesome grandma and great grandma! She will be missed but we are glad she is no longer suffering. Breadyn got to enjoy her company for three years of his life and she so enjoyed him.

Lunch

We headed down to city beach for a quick Subway lunch and some playtime. Braedyn has been fascinated with the outside showers at the beach and is just barely able to get them to spray out water....

Afternoon Bike Ride

Pumpkins

On our trip to Iowa, Braedyn had gone to the store with Mema and bought a pumpkin. So when we got home he just felt like we needed to have some pumpkins to decorate our front porch with. So we headed on down to the local, Carpinteria pumpkin patch and picked out a few.

Hay bale races at the farm.

I got a good view from up here.

I'm sure Braedyn is thinkin, "I gotta get me one of these!"

Tractor fun. Braedyn and Connor hanging out on Papa's tractors.

There is nothing better than a fresh green pepper in rich midwestern soil right out of MeMa and PaPa's garden at the farm. It's so good you can just shake the dirt off and chomp down.
