Harvest Hoedown at Smith Farm

It's been such a busy week, between homeschooling and work; I've barely had time to catch my breath, let alone blog. Anyway, I started this post on Tuesday, but my camera battery died before I could finish downloading all the photos from our visit to the Harvest Hoedown at Smith Farm  on Columbus Day. I did manage to recharge the battery on Tuesday.  However, this is the first chance I've had to finish the post.

We had a blast at the hoedown! The weather was warm and beautiful; it felt more like the middle of the summer than fall.

There was so much to see and do.  We started with a tour of the farm animal area.

There were goats...

and sheep...

and chickens...

and horses...

 and ponies.

There were beautiful fall displays throughout the farm.

That's my husband and our daughter in the photo above.

There were many fun, family activities.

We're  just a couple of friendly ghosts.  

I warned him not to feed the creatures.

The gift shop, located next to the farm stand, had wonderful fall displays.

There was live music...

and lots of pumpkins...

and, of course, hayrides.

My husband was enjoying the hayride...

as was our daughter and her friend, Lauren.

We stopped at the pumpkin patch looking for white pumpkins, but they were all gone.

When the hayride was over, we headed over to the farm stand to buy some cider and a few autumn goodies before heading home.

I snapped a photo of this barn on the way out of the farm.  

We had a great time at the Harvest Hoedown at Smith Farm.  I was inspired by the fall displays.  When we came home, I put together my own fall display to welcome visitors near our front door.  Once it stops raining here, I'll take a few pictures.

Thanks for stopping by!
