Springridge is just near the top of the escarpment,so the view from the farm is quite picturesque.
This morning I took Sydney & Jason to Springridge Farms. They have a few animals (Sydney was disappointed that there were no horses), a corn maze (really just a corn path that kids won't get lost in), hay bales, and of course STRAWBERRIES. I did not venture out into the field to pick our own, not a task I am willing to take on right now with Jason & Sydney together.
Jason didn't nap again this morning (fourth morning in a row- could he be dropping this nap already?) & I knew I wanted to get them out. I also knew I wanted some fresh strawberries since the season around here is almost over- very short this year. So off to Springridge we went. It took much longer to get there than I remember & the way home was a little tricky trying to keep Jason awake. But Sydney enjoyed her time there looking at the animals & jumping on the hay. I am not sure if Jason's expression of "I am not impressed" was due to (1) being tired, (2) being hot, or (3) watching his sister have all the fun while he was stuck in the stroller. He did get a kiss from some little boy, for a reason that I am not sure. I was helping Sydney up onto the hay bale & turn around to see this little boy giving Jason a kiss. I wish I had a picture of the expression on Jason's face after that happened. He looked like he thought the kid was nuts.
Sydney did pretty good jumping on the bales, but when other kids were coming close to her to pass- she would cover her eyes. Not sure what that was all about. Just before we left I did take Jason out of the stroller so that he could sit with his sister for a photo op, but of course that resulted in me pulling hay out of his mouth. I so cannot wait for the everything in the mouth phase to be over.

Next year Jason, I promise you can join in the fun.
