Fall is in the Air...

and it's getting chilly!
But, before the weather changed we had some fun in the Hot, Hot, sun!

The Patterson Family met us a Nates Butt Farm, I mean, Bates Nutt Farm.
There is a ton to do. And another family of 5 can understand the chaos that can come with a family day like this!
Hay rides

Petting Zoo
"where's those chickens?"

Horse riding

Uvulas

Muscles

Face paintings

And, here are some flashbacks from last year.
