Stade's Farm

Our neighbors told us about a dairy farm in McHenry called Stade's Farm. It's about a half hour from our house. They had Shades of Autumn there on the weekends. We were going to go last weekend but it was rainy and cold. We went this Saturday...it was a little windy but overall a pretty nice fall day. They had a bunch of activities for the kids and many of them were free. Some of the activities required the purchase of tickets but they were very reasonable. It only cost $0.50 to go down the big slide. The boys had a lot of fun doing that. Isaac's favorite thing was going through the trailer maze...he was really good at it. Levi's favorite thing was the corn box.
Since this was the last weekend they were open, all their produce was half off. I was able to get acorn squash for $0.50 each and tomatoes for under $1.00 per pound. It worked out well since our garden is done! We're hoping to go back again next year. It will be nice when Elise is a little older to enjoy it :)

Definitely more geared towards kids (I was a little tall for parts of it!)

Corn box (rather than a sand box)

There was corn everywhere when we got home!
