Remlinger Farms - Part 2

Gerritt at the entrance to the Farm

Of course, one visit to the Remlinger Farms wasn't enough. So the next time I had a day off during the week, Gerritt & I set out to discover the previously unexplored areas of the Farm. Sophia stayed at home with her nanny Irina, & the freedom of traveling with just one child was heavenly.


The carousel ride (almost empty)

The decision to visit the Farm during the week turned out to be a good one. There were no long lines of people waiting for the rides. Even though the day was warm again (in the 80s), the fact that we didn't have to wait made it that much more pleasant. We even went for many of the rides twice!


Gerritt loved exploring the fire truck

Gerritt absolutely loved exploring the fire truck! He went inside it, climbed on top of it & behind it. I was thinking the bright red color of the truck would be a perfect location for a fall photo shoot.


The Antique Car ride



On the train ride

We went on our favorite train ride again. The train was half empty & we sat not too far from the train conductor's cabin allowing us a good view of the steam coming out of the smokestack.




Last time Gerritt couldn't play with the sprinkler because he didn't have his swimming shorts. This time, we were well prepared. He really enjoyed getting completely wet on a hot summer day.


Gerritt's turn to enjoy the sprinkler

Unfortunately, the Farm serves only junk food (hot dogs, pizza, artificially colored soft drinks & ice cream, hamburgers, french fries, etc.). The growing baby inside me & a toddler require more nutritious foods than that so we brought our own food from home against the rules. But as far as we were concerned that was the only minus. The Farm is now definitely one of our favorite places to visit. Another unfortunate event was loosing Gerritt's stuffed puppy somewhere (the one I had to drive & pick up after forgetting it at daycare because Gerritt wouldn't sleep without it). We went back to all of the places we visited twice, but couldn't find it. Thankfully, Gerritt was able to be appeased by a new puppy I bought for him at the Farm gift store for a whooping $15 (!). He immediately named it Nemo.
