Ever since I heard about Bauman Farms last year from Emily, I wanted to go. Thus, it was added to my yearly bucket list, the things I would like to do the next year. Knowing it was a kids oriented place, I talked Randy into taking his granddaughter, Hannah. This is the same girl we took to the Enchanted Forrest this summer. Talking him into it wasn’t that hard. We had fun. We, and I do mean we, went on the gigantic slides, swung in the big swings in the barn, went through the two story castle made of hay, went apple taste-testing (Randy and I added the wine) and drove the bikes around the track. We had a very good day and it now truly feels like autumn to me. I believe Baumans is open until Halloween so if you are in the Willamette Valley area, I would highly encourage you to steal a kid and go. Even if you can’t steal a kid, go anyway. We all need days when we can simply go play. Besides, it’s a lot of fun!
Yes, that is me on the swing.
