Harvest Fair at Ardenwood Farm

Our family had a great time at Ardenwood Farm for their annual harvest fair.  We picked plenty of corn.  This year we didn't lose any children in the corn field!

Anthony's favorite part by FAR was touring the historical Patterson house.  We could go from room to room at our own pace, with docents in each room to answer questions.  We probably stayed in the kitchen through three different groups.  He was so interested in all the different gadgets.  When the docent picked up the ice tongs he knew EXACTLY what they were from watching Frozen a million times.  She then showed them the ice box and explained how it works.  He remembered an amazing number of details from last year, including the memorial displays woven from human hair.  He also really enjoyed watching the women from the quilters guild work.

We didn't spend too much time with the animals, but we did enjoy watching the pigs wallow in the mud.
