Rolling Down the Pasture

Reid’s Orchard has a very cleverly designed playground. All the activities have a farming theme. This corrugated pipe rolling game is actually a little advanced for their size, but our boys were game to give it a try. With Daddy’s steadying hand they were able to advance the tube while remaining upright for the most part. One interesting story that Valerie Reid shared with me was after the Hurricane Ike wind storm hit their farm in January; they found these large heavy tubes on their neighbors’ properties several farms away. Imagine looking out your window and seeing these big tubes bouncing along through your fields towards your house. Fortunately, the tubes’ storm adventure damaged nothing, but the Reid’s had to use heavy equipment to lift and haul them back home.
