Cox Farms

We finally made it back to Cox Farms this year, and just like we remembered it didn't disappoint. Dee Dee, Jackson, and I headed out west to meet up with the Cote' family for an afternoon of fun. We could not have asked for better weather - warm with a nice breeze and lots of sunshine! The day before it was raining and the day after the high was 58!

Before entering the park, I made Dee Dee and Jackson stop for a picture. He was not a happy camper, but how can you pass up a picture with a 624 pound pumpkin?!?!?


Another cute picture opportunity, but this time he was up for posing as a scarecrow.


While we waited for our friends, Jackson climbed up the stacked hay bales and crawled down through the tunnels.


Since I couldn't ride any of the slides (next year little bambino) Jackson talked his Dee Dee into riding them with him. Now this is a big deal because my mom does not do slides or rides! It is amazing what you will do for you grandchildren.

Ready, set, go . . . .


Yippee they made it! It must have not been too bad because this is the first of about 50 slides they conquered together.


Jackson then decided to tackle one by himself! It was all fun until he spun around and bumped his head on the hay bale. Those slippery slides can be so tricky.


I also missed out on the hay ride - "may be too bumpy for pregnant women." Seriously, you miss out on all the fun being pregnant ;) Everyone had a blast, and I had a peaceful 20 minute break.

Before calling it a day we wound our way through the corn maze, pigged out on kettle corn, rode about 20 more slides, talked to the squealing pigs, and picked out one more pumpkin. It was a great day, and we are already talking about going back next year!

I am not sure who laughed louder Jackson or DeeDee going down those slides. It really was fun (after the first one). Jackson was just too cute to resist. Half way up one of the slides, he said; "It's ok DeeDee. It will be fun, and I will ride with you". Now who could resist that. Love you, Jackson. DeeDee
