Visit to Freddy Hill Farm

Two weekends ago, we visited Freddy Hill Farm in Lansdale to take a hayride and pick pumpkins from a patch. We went last year and, while Ella enjoyed the pumpkin patch, she cried the whole hayride. This year, she loved it! She liked going over the bumpy terrain of the fields and trying to find the pumpkins and corn stalks.

She enjoyed picking the pumpkins up in the patch and carrying them around. She kept throwing (I mean, putting) ones down and searching for "a better one." Then once her pumpkin was chosen, she liked digging around in the dirt searching for stones and rocks.

On the hayride back, Rob and I were talking about how she cried the whole time last year--what a difference a year makes. Ella overheard us and kept asking, "What's wrong with Ella?" She didn't understand why she was crying last year. Then she said, "Ella no crying now. The hayride's fun, guys. Ella's not scared!"

Later, she and I went down the big slide and visited the baby animals.
