We try to get out of the house every morning. It’s a survival thing, honestly.
The morning can drag on with active little people who are easily bored : )
Covid has made getting finding safe, fun things to do more challenging, but I love that the Richmond area has tons of outdoor summer activities. If we are willing to brave the heat, we can always find ways to stay entertained.
I had never been to a sunflower farm before, but The West End mom instagram account recently featured Alvis Farms, and we decided to give it a try. They have a sunflower maze, a pick-your-own sunflower field, tons of photo ops, and pretty cool farm equipment that the kiddos can see.
We went with a couple of friends, arrived around 8:45am, and stayed for around an hour. We were definitely sweaty by the time we left, but it was a sweet time, and Nash especially loved hanging out with some pretty awesome tractors 🙂
The sunflower season is fairly short and ends today actually, but definitely put this on your “Things to do in RVA” checklist for next summer.
