Annual Trip to the Red Barn

Every year Derek's Mom takes as many of her grandkids and their moms as are available to the Red Barn to go on a hay ride, try a maze or two, do other available activities, and have ice cream (or if you are Dan, whatever you pick at the gas station on the way there).

This year I was not really feeling well, but the boys and I still headed over at the appointed time.  We stopped at a gas station on the way and got Dan some A&W Rootbeer. 
This is a not good picture of Derek's Mom and Isabelle.
I missed getting a good picture of Derek's Mom on the Zipline.

Derek's Dad did the zipline!  Erin is in the background on the other zipline.

Dan.
 Jake spent his time with cousins in the mazes.  When Dan had finished everything he wanted to do (he didn't hang out with cousins this time but ran around by himself), and when Jake came out of the maze, I gave them the option of staying with their grandparents or coming home with me right then.  They came with me.  We got a hayride back to the barn, had our treats, and headed home.  The other family members stayed for a while longer, taking advantage of a really beautiful fall day, and a generous gift of a paid trip to, and treat from, the Red Barn.
