Fiddlesticks Farms: Farming...with a Texas Tune

This past Sunday I met my mom, Isabella and Nana Gina in Midland and we all headed out to Fiddlesticks Farms.  This was a first for the 4 of us and I do believe, despite the wind, we all had a wonderful afternoon.  Isabella got to ride on a horse train, slide down a potato sack slide, play in the sand, bounce on the corn popper, among many other activities.  We all went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch where Isabella showed off her independence and wanted to pick out her pumpkin BY HERSELF!  She would pick out the biggest pumpkin she could carry!  My mom finally convinced her that we had enough pumpkins at home and how about two gourds!  We also went through the Learning Barn and looked at and petted goats, pigs, cows and sheep.  They also did a milking demonstration that we watched then Isabella got to help bottle feed a calf with the milk they had gotten.  She also had a blast leading us through the Maize.  She was the leader and loved getting us lost!!  I just hope they aren't still looking for us since she decided to take a short cut out the side of the maize to finish!  If you are in the area and haven't been or if you are ever in the area....it is definitely a fun time had by all!
