Trip to the "north farm"

The boys and i did an overnight adventure earlier this week to my dad's farm near williamsport. He is there for a couple weeks doing the corn harvest. My mom was also up there this week, so we thought it would be fun to join them for a couple days. We had a good time!

My dad has owned this farm for a few years. No animals, just land/fields. They got the trailer put in just this year. There was a very old house on the farm, which they tore down.

Since it rained all day Tuesday we had to find indoor things to do....
They played in the huge corn pile...
Did some crafts...Wrestled a little too much....And we went to Reptileland which was just 3 miles from the farm...
The each touched an alligator and a snake. They were pretty proud.Do you know the difference between a crocodile and alligator? The croc's snout is more narrow, and when it's mouth is shut it has teeth on the outside. (just 1 or 2 on each side, i think), and the alligators snout is wider. I never knew the difference, but would have guessed it the other way around.

My favorite were the huge turtles...excuse me, Tortoises. These guys were huge! as were the anacondas, which i didn't take a picture of. I joked that everything was big around there. We went out to eat and got 99 cent "baby" cones that were bigger then any normal sized cone around here!!


Looking forward to more memories at the north farm.

They have a very nice place to stay when at the farm. We also enjoyed our day with them this week! - Rose
