The tradition every Fall (known to us Aussies as Autumn) is to drive out to the country side to the many farms and orchids to pick apples and pumpkins. I had been researching all these quaint farms about 2 hours away when I stumbled upon Queens County Farm Museum, not far from Manhattan at all.
So last Saturday we piled into the car and headed out to Queens. The farm dates back to 1697 and has various animals and grows vegetables, including corn & pumpkins.
For the past 10 years, the farm has created a maze through the corn fields that people can work through, with clues, maps and many dead-ends! It took about half an hour to find our way out. The kids really loved working together to find the clues and figuring out the map.

After a short hayride, we went to choose our pumpkins. We came home with 6 pumpkins of various sizes and shapes. We are currently painting them to use as Halloween decorations in the hallway on our floor. Once finished I'll send through some pictures.
