Koetsier's

This afternoon we had been planning to go to Post Family Farm for some fall family fun.  Then this week Esther was invited to a Halloween party with the girls in her class, so she decided to ditch us for her friends.  Just a little taste of what the teenage years will be like, right?

We ended up deciding to try out Koetsier's Greenhouse instead because I had heard they had a lot of fun activities for kids too.  I also knew they had quite a bit to do inside, and since it was a cool day, we thought that might be nice.  Peter and Miriam had a great time there, and we'd definitely recommend it!

We started out with a hayride.  They give you an apple when you get on the wagon, and one of the stops along the way is a place to throw the apple core at a target.  We also saw their beehives, some chickens and goats, and we were able to pick out little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.

Then we headed inside and the kids had fun doing the hay maze, playing in the inflatables, driving the little pedal tractors, and playing in the corn box.  We also enjoyed some popcorn and cider.

We had a fun fall family (minus Esther) afternoon, and Esther had a great time at her party too!

Making scary faces in the hay maze!

It's always fun to run into a friend from school!  Here is Peter with his friend Elise.
