Thompson's Farm

Today we took Mom and Dad out to Thompson's Farm in Naches. There are several farms in the valley that set up hay rides, corn mazes and feeding stations, but you can only see a pumpkin fired out of a cannon at Thompson's Farm. John Thompson made three different cannons, by hand, from old farm equipment.

This is the largest of the three cannons. It fires pumpkins about twice the size of the pumpkins seen in the foreground and the pumpkins fly several hundred feet through the air.

You can listen to John's Almost Live Band while you are drinking hot apple cider and eating homemade pumpkin donuts.

This is the bands lead singer.
This is a new goat ramp that John made so the goats have something to climb on. I tried to get a good picture of the cute little goats, but they were shy.
