Hickory Nut Gap Farm

Last weekend the whole fam packed up our gear and headed to "the mounts" as Reed calls the mountains. Our trip had an underlying cause, which we'll get to later, but beforehand, we wanted to have some fun! We stayed with our buddies, the Honrado's. They took us to a farm not too far from their house that had a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and all sorts of farm animals to peek at.

The pumpkins in the field were a bit overpicked and the ones that were left seemed to have bug occupants of their own. For those reasons, we decided not to pick any to take home for ourselves. Right, No-No!?!

The boys got to play and act silly with their "cousins" Gracyn and Griffin. They had a blast petting the horses, playing with bubbles, and swinging on the rope swing in the barn.

The highlight was the horse ride! Reed and Nolan were both very brave and rode a horse for the first time! They giggled as the 22 (!) year old horse walked them up and down the street.

To end our tour, the boys got to munch on some cidercicles before we left. Not really the greatest popsicle invention, but the kiddos were happy to eat a frozen treat on a stick...even though it didn't taste like anything but ice!!
