Hilgar's Family Farm


Cooper was fortunate this October to go on lots of trips to different pumpkin patches around town.  We first took a field trip with his Co-op preschool group to Hilger's Family Farm.  It was a family owned farm that opens up in autumn time and decorates their entire farm with fall fun activities for kids.  They had a real corn maze, playlets made out of farm equipment and hay bales, a hay pit with a tire swing in the middle to swing around and fall down into hay, and many other fun areas to play.  Cooper's Co-op preschool consists of Cameron Stump, Emerson & Sebastian Lewis, Aaron Greene, Mikey York, and Cooper.  Its been a fun group of kids!

Towards the end of our time at Hilgars, the owner of the farm read a story to the kids. It was called "The Pumpkin Seed" and was about a little boy who planted a pumpkin seed and watched it grow all summer long.  It was a neat story and the kids enjoyed her storytelling! 
We took a hayride around the pumpkin fields.  This was probably the biggest hit!  Cooper is such a great big brother, too!
Even Baby Dawson got to come along!
