Elliot, Marm, and I decided, instead of watching football all day Saturday, we’d do something really fun. We went to Granddaddy’s Farm near Estill Springs, TN.
First we took a hay ride.
We went through the woods and over to a pumpkin patch where we picked our favorite pumpkin, cut it from the vine and carried in back. We put it in a wagon and took it to the car so we could be free to do other fun stuff.
There was a big playground with things to climb on and goats and mazes, etc.
Next we checked out 3 slides. The first slide was a pipe accessed by climbing giant tractor tires filled with sand.
The next slide was an even bigger pipe on the side of a hill. The third and longest slide was open and went down the side of a big hill. The fella at the top said it went real fast if you rode on a burlap bag, so we did that together and it sure was fast. We went off the slide at the end into the grass.
The second time Elliot rode by himself.
So that I could run down and meet him at the bottom, he rode without the burlap bag so he would go slower. He took off fast, but when the hill leveled out Elliot stopped. He tried his best to shimmy his way the rest of the way down the slide, but I ended up pulling him to the end.

After the slides we rode on a giant swing, ran through a hay maze, jumped on big inner tubes, and climbed through a string web.
Last but not least, Elliot jumped in a big bin filled with corn.

It was a great day, but we didn’t get to do everything, so I’m hoping we get to go back soon!
