We had a great time on Saturday at Hee Haw Farms.  We were there for almost 6 hours!!  They had all sorts of fun playing on the slide, maze, seeing the animals, riding ponies, trains, corn pits, hay rides, picking out pumpkins, and all sorts of fun.  Betsy even won the pig chase, and was the first to catch a pig in her age group.  She won a free popcorn and cotton candy.  We got lost in the corn maze for over an hour, and had a lot of fun, except we really were wishing we had brought water, it ended up being over 80 degrees outside.  We went on a trick or treat hay ride, and got some candy.  Joseph and Samuel gave Travis their candy in return for money (they are on a no wheat, dairy, and sugar diet for ADHD and Austim(more about this later))  We took another hay ride over to the pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins.  Samuel decided that we didn't need a lot of time to pick out pumpkins and as soon as we got off the hay ride he grabbed the first pumpkin he saw and ran back on the hay ride, and wouldn't get off, (I guess he didn't want to wait for the next hay ride) so the rest of us quickly grabbed a pumpkin and got on the hay ride before it left again.  Samuel loved going on the slide over and over again, he had a little trouble waiting his turn, but overall did pretty good.  They also had a big corn pit to play in, and an inflatable haunted forest for the kids. Samuel had a little trouble in the corn pit, he was throwing a lot of corn, and ending up fighting with another little boy, and throwing him in the corn, and I had to jump in and pull him off the other kid.  So Samuel didn't get to play in the corn pit anymore, but he had fun with the other stuff.  Joseph discovered that if you buried yourself in the corn, you could still breath, so he loved doing that, and pretending he was an ostrich.  Austin loved the free donut samples that they had.  We stayed until the kids were finally hungry enough to leave.  It was sure a fun day.  Also this morning we went to an Opera at BYU called "help the globolinks."  It was pretty fun to watch, and now the kids all want to be globolinks for halloween.  They are basically covered in black with streamers coming out of the sides, they are aliens!!  We'll see if it happens...
