We got a groupon to the Johansen Farm in October and decided to go. Thankfully, there was one beautiful day near the end of the month that was supposed to be in the 70s. Don't you just love Midwest weather??? So, I packed the kids up and away we went! I could not believe that it was in the middle of town. I mean, right on a busy road.... that was something else considering I came from a farm. This was not a farm. However, there were plenty of different kinds of animals the kids got to feed which had Audrey screeching in delight and Emmett being very brave all things considering. We went on a small train ride and a 'hay ride' at which point Emmett pointed to some houses from the nearby subdivision and said 'house ma'. Yes Emmett, we could see all the houses. so funny. They had blowup bouncy houses and slides for little kids and that was relatively empty so Emmett had a blast playing on those for awhile. We did end up getting some pumpkins and bringing them home to paint to make the day last a little longer. The kids had fun and it was a welcome break from a typical day. Just glad my kiddos know what a REAL farm is though!!!!
