With fall making her presence know here in the northern hemisphere, today's question is:

Have you ever gone on a hay ride?

I haven't been in years but my girl scout troop growing up used to go on one every year. My mom was our troop leader and had terrible allergies but, bless her soul, she would go every year and sneeze her head off the entire time. We always got apple cider and pumpkin bread when we were done.

They are having a haunted hay ride at a local farm this year and I want to go so bad! My husband, who grew up on a farm, thinks I'm insane! He said he's sat on enough bales of hay to last a lifetime

l haven't been on one myself, but when my kids were little, my daughter's ice hockey team went on a hay/sleigh ride on a real sleigh, with runners! l'd never seen one before. Siblings were allowed along, so the pile of them were bundled in the hay on the sleigh in the middle of winter.

They've been on those Hallowe'en hay rides too. We have a locally famous farm which puts on quite the show every year. NOT for the wee ones

Only if driving the horses counts, and I don't think it does, simply because the driver hasn't a clue what is going on behind him/her, unless the passengers get really obnoxious.

Never went on a hay ride. Growing up in the Bronx, NY we really didn't see hay rides!!! just subway rides. Would love to do it someday!

yep. Most campgrounds we've visited when I was a kid had a hay/tractor ride around the park.

and every year for the annual halloween trip with my nieces, we usually find one to ride!

Wow, our first and only hay ride was back when Rick and I were dating, so I was about 15 or so. We went with my GFs church group and we all had a great time.

It's been decades since I was on a hay ride, but that was something that we did a lot when I was a kid, either as a school trip or with the Girl Scouts.
