Dewberry Farm

We loaded up the vehicle Saturday morning and headed to Dewberry Farm for a fun-filled family day. The weather was great, the crowd was manageable and the kids throughly enjoyed themselves. Dalton enjoyed Slide Mountain, Fort DewHickey, the Cow Train, Hay Mountain (a favorite), Farmer Flinger and the Giant Roller Slide. Both kids enjoyed picking out their own pumkins to take home.

This fall Dewberry Farm was selected to help celebrate and honor the U.S. space program in collaboration with NASA through an outreach program titled Space Farm 7. NASA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first American in space, the 30th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle mission and the 20th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's deployment in space. An aerial view of the corn maze this year says "One Small Step For Man - 50 Years NASA" and has many celestial objects carved throughout. During our visit Saturday Dalton was able to meet G. Reid Wiseman (Lieutenant Commander, USN) and NASA Astronaut.

The Corn Bunk was another highlight for Dalton before we left.

A couple hour trip turned into a full day! They were worn out by the time we headed home! I'm certain they had fun!
