Waldoch Farm 2025

On October 26th, we ventured off on our annual visit to Waldoch Farm. It has become an October tradition for us and something the kids look forward to every year. Sadly this year, Owen wasn't "feeling it" so he stayed home to lounge in typical teenage fashion while the rest of us headed to the farm.

Our first stop was the tractor ride to the pumpkin patch. We wanted to make sure we got our pumpkins taken care of right away so that we could spend the rest of our time enjoying the various activities on the farm.

The tractor has an oversized trailer that hauls guests out to the pumpkin patch. It even has a wheelchair lift which is perfect for our wheelers. Just roll them on, up they go onto the trailer, and we are off! Sam has not been a fan of these modes of transportation in the past and was quite concerned once he boarded the trailer. Knowing this, Shane scooped him up and out of his stroller which made a world of difference. That grimace quickly turned into a smile sitting on Papa's lap.

It was a fairly warm day for the end of October, and we had a lovely time walking along the pumpkin patch in search of our perfect pumpkins. 

After loading the pumpkins onto the trailer and then hauling them to our van, we headed off to our next stop: the corn pit - big fan favorite of our younger crew. Rose, Kate, Aria and Sam happily dug, dumped, and threw the corn.

Afterwards, Rose and Kate got busy maneuvering their way through the obstacle course...    

Sliding down the gigantic slide...

Zooming across the zip-line...

Making enormous bubbles...

And shooting some hoops...

Our last activity of the day was a visit to the barnyard to feed the farm animals before wrapping up our trip and heading home.

What a beautiful fall afternoon at the farm. See you next year, Waldoch Farm!
