Autumn Acres..

I wanted separate posts for Ashu and Aj as they deserve it and this is a fun update...

Autumn Acres

Oct 24 : We went to Autumn Acres, a place near cookeville. Usually, @ Ashu's school they take the kids there once a year. I thought it was just a pumpkin patch with some swings and slides as that's all Ashu talked about. This time i saw the hoarding and checked their website and it sounded pretty interesting. So, we decided to go there and coincidentally they didnt make that trip this year at Parkview. We invited Atharva and Shiodas to join us. It was sooo cold and we were shivering, but the kids were fine as they were running around. The place had more than what i expected. They had corn maze, which was pretty neat. They gave clues like Scavenger hunt and as you find the things on the list you are on the right direction to come out of the maze. Ashu and Atharva were enjoying it and finding all the clues and AJ acted as if he found everything and was walking around like it was a piece of cake for him. I liked it because this was the first time i was in a corn farm and it was amazing to see it :)
It was the opposite of pattikaatan mittai kadaya paakardhu..I grew up in chennai and this was all new to me..so it was like 'pattanathan vayakaatai paatha maari' :D

After that the kids were playing in the swings and slides for a while. Aj loved it too. After that the kids went to the petting zoo and looked at bunnies, goats, pigs..etc. Aj started talking to the goats and it was really hilarious. He tried to pull their mouths and we had to keep him at a distance :) After that the kids went to the mega bouncing pillow and both ashu and atharva had a blast. first AJ stayed away and after seeing ashu he went in and it was hilarious. All the people who were watching their kids literally rolled on the floor laughing looking at AJ's reactions..First it was difficult for him to climb on it as the kids were jumping and the pillow was bouncy..somehow he managed and climbed and then when he sat down, he started moving down due to the vibration and he was mad and scolding everyone in gibberish. Too funny..i dont think i have explained it well. but, he kept going back and had fun and enteratained the rest of us :D

After that Ashu and Atharva went for the corn canon and AJ being small was not allowed. Corn canon is like a gun where they put corn and you have to shoot the target with the corn. It was fun too..Instead of that AJ got to ride in the barrel train and when he went he was the only kid his age and he went solo..Raja mariyadhai dhaan. After this, we went on the hayride and the kids went into the pumpkin patch and got pumpkins and we were back..Ellam adichu potta maari thoongithu because of all the aatam and cold weather..
