My Trip to Abbey Farms

On September 19, 2020 I went to Abbey Farms. An Abbey is a place where monks and nuns live and work. Abbey Farms is a farm run by monks that live and work there. But Abbey Farms also turned into a place for people to go to have fun. There were Covid-19 precautions like masks, social distancing, and hand sanitizer. SO MUCH HAND SANITIZER.

Anyway, when we pulled in, we went to the ticket place to redeem our online tickets. We put them on and headed into the place. The first stop was the petting zoo. There were ducks, sheep, chickens, and goats. The ducks traveled together. There were some white ones and some greyish ones. The chickens wandered around clucking. The goats and sheep were less skittish and at one point a goat and the biggest sheep walked up to me. The big sheep was very fluffy but also covered in hay. Then I saw the baby goats.

The baby goats were so small, maybe a foot tall and a foot and a quarter wide. There was a little white one that was a bit smaller then the other one that was brown. The white one was my favorite because it ran around bleating. The inside of its mouth was bright pink. It located it’s mother and I got close enough to pet it. It was so soft and tiny and cute. But then we decided to move onto the next thing.

The next thing was tube racing. There were these big black tubes that you had to move and they were on little tracks. They were fun and I beat my sister and my mom. Then we went onto the next thing, ziplining.

The ziplining track was about fifty feet. There were 2 ziplines and me and my sister each went on one. They were fun and we went a couple times. And then we moved onto the next thing.

The next thing was a jumping pillow. It was very bouncy and fun. It was orange and yellow and about fifty feet across. It was very fun.

Then after that we decided to head to the megadrop slides. These were some super long slides that you slid down on a sack. Now that was really fun. I went backwards. But since I’d been here in past years, me and my sister decided to go in the corn maze.

So we walked to the entrance and stepped inside. We were swallowed up by the corn. We walked through the maze. At one point, I drew an X in the soft champagne colored soil. I’m sad to say it didn’t work very well. Anyways, I spotted a lookout post, so we went over to it. We saw the exit so we got down and tried to head in that direction. But then we sort of went back the way we came, so it was pretty sad. There were these sort of trails through the corn so we went through one. Then we spotted another, so we went on it. And there was the exit! We went through and I gave a hoot of joy. We had completed the Corn Maze!

Then we decided to head over to the rubber duck races. We saw these cow statues. They had lassos so your could practice. I got it around the cow’s neck once. But then we started riding on the cows and doing tricks and pretending they were horses. Then we saw the duck races, but we were like “BORING” so we got some donuts and headed to the car. Then we drove home.
