Dewberry Farms has become a favorite Fall tradition for us. This makes our 4th year to attend with friends and enjoy all the fun that the farms has to offer. However, this year was slightly different for a couple of reasons. This is the first year Jacob got to go with us and Brenna enjoyed showing Daddy all the fun. Also, this was the first year we had to go on the weekend when the farm was open to the public. In past years we've always attended on a weekday when the farm is only open to private groups. The farm was never crowded, always easy to maneuver, and we enjoyed each of activity as long as we liked.
This year was a tale of a different story. We faced huge crowds that resembled a backwoods version of Disney World! We arrived just before opening and waited in line for 30 minutes before we even made it through the gates. Once inside we quickly hit the big ticket activities moving the kids from one to the other alittle quicker than they would have liked. The kids would have definitely lingered on the jumping pillows longer if we had allowed it. Within one hour lines were backed up and people were everywhere! In the past, we've spent more than half a day at Dewberry, leaving only after the kids were completely spent. This year we managed 2.5 hours before heading home. The crowds were just too much. On the way out we discovered that it pays off to be early because the line of cars to get to Dewberry was more than 2 miles long!!!!
