Black Island Farms

October 9, 2010-  We packed up the kids for a 4 day weekend in Utah so Nate could go elk hunting with his dad and brother Kelly.  The highlight of the trip was Black Island Farms!  We went last year and just had to go again this year!  It is such a fun place, my favorite by far!  

We went with Nate's brother Kelly's wife, Tausha, and their kids, Nate's Mom, and his Brother and S-I-L, Jason and Kate, and their kids.  Brynlee and Gracen LOVED having such a big group of fun cousins to go with! Here are some pictures of our fun!

These two were best buds!  It doesn't always happen that way, but it sure was cute to see them holding hands and getting along so well!

Swinging!

Gracen had to ride on the shark!

Duck racing!

Sliding!

More sliding!

Love her hair in this one!  She was scared of the big black slide.  Last year she went on it and didn't have any problems, this time she kept saying it was too fast, faster than last year.  I didn't see her come out the first time, so I kept telling her to go back and do it again.  Once she finally did it again, she really was flying out of that thing, it was funny!  Her pants must have been ultra slick this year!

Pouting!

Love this boy!  He was mad about wanting to race Kensy in the big black tube slide, which isn't possible.  She came out first and he stomped off into the weeds to pout!

Drumming!

Riding!

Digging and Burying!

Smiling!

Riding to pick out the perfect pumpkin!

Have I convinced you that this place is awesome yet?!  Well, we loved it!

Spent nearly 4 hours, doing all of this plus, watched some pig races, went through a corn maze, and jumped in a big pumpkin bounce house.  

We had a great time going to visit our family in Utah!  Nate didn't have much luck finding an elk, but I think he enjoyed a nice break to go hunting!  

Have I mentioned that we love being so close to home??  

An 8-9 hour drive seems like nothing compared to what it used to be!
