I love spending time with my kids and now my grandkids. So when I have the day with my grandson I like to find something fun to do with him. And it would be nice this time of year to be outside, now that the weather has cooled and the leaves are changing. So,I want to share with you where I took my grandson and we had a great time being outdoors. Our fun morning at Dickerber’s Farm.
As soon as I pulled into the parking lot Storme got so excited. When I let him out of the car he bolted towards the entrance. He couldn’t wait to get inside. There was a $8.00 admission to the farm during their corn maze season from September to November. Children 3 and under are free. As you can see Storme was having fun with the kittens. I found out they even have Farm camp weeks during summer and fall, and bday partys, weddings and barnyard dances and I’ll have a link for you so you can get the details on the cost.
It was so much fun watching Storme run from one spot to the next. And how the animals were gentle letting Storme pet all over them.
Storme found a kitty that he carried around with he took him with us to see the cow.
For just a $1.00 you can buy food to give to the animals. Which Storme’s favorite was feeding the chickens, which they had plenty of. And he also liked teasing the chickens and to watch them scatter.
They had outbuildings for the kids to explore.
Across a pond swimming with ducks and geese they had a tractor ride for the kids on a wagon filled with strawbails. We visited the Farm through the week so it wasn’t crowded.
We had a fun morning and as we finished up we walked thru the picnic area Storme enjoyed
