Went to a Farm Today!

Tweet

We took our son to a place called Spiderhall Farm today since the program we have him enrolled in was having a fun event there. They had a bouncy house and bouncy slide. There were baby goats to pet, a pumpkin patch, and a corn maze. It was our first time going to this farm and the day was overall good. We went to the corn maze first and that is where the only hiccup in the trip happened. I had fallen behind my son and husband because I was taking pictures. One of the moms near me pointed out the spider in the picture I have up here. We took pictures then she flipped it to see if it was a black widow. IT WAS. As soon as we saw the red on the spider she squished it. I had never seen a black widow, but the thought of one of those venomous spiders biting one of the many little kids tripping in the maze made me so worried and anxious. After that I was on edge then entire time until i got out of that maze. Things got fun again once we got back to where the bounce castle and slide were. We had lunch, my son played some more, and then we went home with his pumpkin that he picked out. We got home an hour ago and I need a nap. My son is running on sugar so he hasn't had a nap yet either but even if he doesn't he will be out for the whole night. Have you ever seen a black widow in real life before? Have you ever been bitten by one or know anyone who has? Do you go to farms in the fall for fun in the pumpkin patch, corn mazes, or animals?
