Schnepf Farms

I love pumpkin patches and fall festivals. Fall is definitely my favorite season. If only we could do with Halloween.... Anywho, my VT told me about a pumpkin patch in Queen Creek called Schnepf Farms. It sounded like a ton of fun to me, so we took the kids and played all afternoon.


On the hayride they let us off to look at a herd of deer they had. Ian LOVED them! If Isaac tried to move away, he would pull on the fence and force him back.

Cutest family on the hayride.

Halfway through our ride we got dropped off at the corn maze. We were lost, so Ian helped us find our way.

He was pretty proud of himself for getting us out.

The kids' highlights were the carnival rides. All of them were included in the admission price. Who needs Disneyland?




The ride they looked most forward to was the rollercoaster.

Even Ashlyn wanted to ride. She was excited right up until we were buckled in and then she started screaming. The man asked if we wanted off and I told him no. He looked at me like I was the worst parent in the world, but I decided she needed the experience. She was terrified the whole time. The boys loved it, though!

The airplanes were Carter's favorite. Isaac was too big to ride and Ashlyn was still traumatized by the rollercoaster, so he enjoyed this one all to himself.

My favorite was the swings. Eric opted to sit out with Ian and Ashlyn on this one. The swings always make him sick. I think it's in his head!


Eric has promised to build me one of these four person bikes. We'll see if he comes through!


Ashlyn had no fear of the goats. I was really surprised.

The boys really liked them, too. Eric tried to wrestle one of them and lost. Wish I had gotten that picture!

It was a very near perfect day. I'm so glad we went!
