More Farm Fun

We returned to Riley's Farm on Saturday, where our kids had a great time taking part in the activities. Riley's hosts field trips and historical reenactments regularly, and on Saturday, there was a focus on Colonial times and the Revolutionary War, with soldiers from both sides walking around, practicing with muskets.

Cora had to do the axe-throwing, of course. She got one to stick, too!

Violet tried out the archery. We've bought a new bow, so we'll have to get back to our archery range.

We all learned a lot from the blacksmiths. The signs were amusing, too.

Liana and Violet dipped candles.

Violet also made a cornhusk doll.

Such a great spot! Wish it were closer.

Silliness.

Training.

An old-fashioned game of trap-ball.

We visited a few other apple farms, too, including Snow-Line, which is famous for its (non-alcoholic) apple cider and apple cider doughnuts. Long line, but yummy!

Our drive home was much better - two hours, instead of the almost-four it took Friday afternoon. We stopped halfway to visit JT and Jim; JT grew up going to Oak Glen every year, and had given me many tips for our visit.
