A Visit to Swank Farms

Last weekend we headed out to Hollister to go to one of our favorite corn mazes at Swank Farms.  Leo and I used to come out here every October and go through the maze at night and then through the haunted house/farm/pumpkin patch (whatever the theme was that year).  It was always so much fun!  Well we had kids and we don't get to do that kind of stuff anymore.  But we get to have different fun now and we took the kids to drive the pedal cars, feed the goats, and go through the kiddie corn maze…which is really cute with the story of Spookley the Square Pumpkin along the way.  We did encounter some dinosaurs (as Leo ans I tend to do often) while in the maze.  Thankfully they were on the other side of the fence so we got away.  The boys had the most fun feeding corn stalks to the goats. Some of those goats were so big you could have rode them!  All in all it was a very fun trip and the kids all came home with a little pumpkin they picked from the patch.  


Julian couldn't reach the pedals so Leo had to drive him around the track
