I spent the better part of a day recently, along with dear friend Sin City Farm Girl (SCFG), her…read moreYoung 'Un and the NMT. We were looking for a day of play, a tricky thing with a Moody Teen and his sidekick, and one that did not cost an arm and a leg. SCFG suggested Savidge, which is near their farm, so off we went. You can tell the place has been doing this for a while, as they had everything well laid out - from parking to activities to shopping. They also had a nice mix of free activities (such as a 'sandbox' full of dried corn that the kids spent over an hour playing happily in) and low- cost activities, the most expensive being $3 for a hayride to a pick-your-own pumpkin patch (cost of pumpkin you pick extra, weighed upon your return). There was mini-golf, shooting plastic balls in air cannons at targets, climbing on farm equipment repurposed as play gyms, going to see and pet baby goats, cow, piglets and see the emu, and of course the decently challenging but not impossible corn maze. Four and a half hours flew by, as the kids went from place to place. They even enjoyed a visit from some of the free-range hens who helpfully picked up any crumbs dropped around the outdoor picnic tables. Food options are as you'd expect - drinks (top price $1.50 for cold bottled water), chips, hot dogs (also $1.50). What I liked was the reasonableness of the items while still allowing the place to make a profit, not the price gouging we see at other farm operations we've been to. As for shopping - they have a beautiful selection of mums, very reasonably priced, and they have some (not an abundance, and again, not overly expensive) other food items like pickled hot peppers, etc. along with a variety of grown-on-site pumpkins, gourds, dried corn and corn stalks. Everyone who worked there was friendly, helpful and patient. We had a relaxing but entertaining day that did not break the bank, and came home with two exhausted and content boys. I have a feeling this place gets nuts in October, so go early in the season unless you don't mind big crowds. Definitely will go back again next year.

Nothing says Labor Day Weekend like this festival. They've been holding it for many years and now…read moreit's a great holiday weekend staple. Thinking about it gives me nostalgia for the late summer. You pay an entrance fee (I forget the exact amount, somewhere between $10-$15) but it includes all the rides and some games. This is great if you are taking kids, so you won't have to worry about tickets, tokens or any other methods of payment. The food is phenomenal for being festival food (but then again I love Polish food). For fair prices you can get potato pancakes, pierogies and imported beer. They have musicians and dancing for entertainment, though I suggest if you're interested in that kind of thing going later on, since that's when the bulk of it happens. Overall this is a fun event and worth checking out.

What a fun time the annual Applefest is! This year, the $5pp admission got us kid games, live…read moremusic, hayrides, candle dipping, face painting, free samples of apple butter and apple cider (that we got to help make), and access to farm animals (cows, sheep, donkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, and a pig). For a reasonable price, there were two food trucks (cheesesteaks, meatball sandwiches, hot roast pork, chicken nuggets, fries, etc), cupcakes, jars of locally made apple butter and honey, plus fundraiser table with caramel sauced apple slices. I was SO impressed with the volunteers. They were all very professional and polite. It was all teens hosting the kids' games, and they were amazing kids; all cheerful, competent, proactive individuals working to make a very fun experience for those younger. Everything ran super smoothly. They had ample volunteers at every post, but they weren't talking to one another or on their phones, they were present and willing/looking to help. I can tell Fox Chase is very experienced with these events because there was a process for each activity, lines were plotted with ropes or signs, everything was well-placed and well-spaced. Volunteers were apprised of every detail for their job, and super well informed. It was just extremely diligently planned. They even had parking at various local lots, and a school but shuttle to get you to/from the farm, all free. Even the police crossing guards at the entrance were plentiful and right on top of their tasks. In addition to having a blast with my kid, I also enjoyed the community. There was so much diversity at this event, I loved it! I heard so many different languages and saw all types of people. It was so fun to join in with such a melting pot of Philly Area peeps. Even the animals were chill and content, and super gentle with and trusting of the kids feeding and patting them. It was a great time! My only suggestions would be for the event to be longer (it was 12-4pm), and for more fall apple offerings, like apple fritters, candy apples, cider donuts, pumpkin bread, caramel popcorn, etc. If the fundraiser table sold those items it would be amazing! Also if there were a table selling apple and pumpkin pies on the way out, I can see them making a mint. People were so reluctant to leave, and wanting to spend money and take things home.

The indoor facility was beautiful & engaging, with separate rooms for active playing, light & sound sensory experiences, and even a meditation room. I went twice in 2 weeks, with different children & adults who had some similar but also some different favorites. I will be back. This is a very, very special place.

However, I often find it difficult to arrange details and make the proper connections occur. I discovered myself wishing over and over that I could take time and effort spent on researching trips and excursions and use most of it actually going outside. I admit, I was absolutely thrilled when I found the answer - Take It Outdoors Adventures. Located in the heart of southeastern Pennsylvania, TIOA provides fantastic opportunities throughout the year. I have found myself attending a variety of experiences - from casual after-work paddles during the week to a weekend camping excursion to a Paddle followed by a tour of a local Craft Brewery to a week-long expedition in the Adirondacks, the happy memories keep stacking up. Each week, I check the calendar as I anxiously wait to see what is coming up next. The past few years have been an adventure - I can hardly wait to see what 2015 has in store!
