The Pumpkin Patch

Friday, October 30th, 2009

**Just to give you fair warning before reading this post: It is full of pictures.

Last weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch. We had planned to go to a patch on Saturday evening for a movie and a hayride, but it rained all day.

We ended up going to a different pumpkin patch on Sunday and had a blast. There was so much to do at the pumpkin patch. It was like a fall themed amusement park.

We started by going through the maze. Ethan was a bit hesitant at first, but then he got into it. Hayden had a strategy to get through the maze: follow the people in front of you. His strategy worked until he lost the people in front of him (he was challenged by short legs).

After the maze, we did the big slide. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures because both David and I slid with the boys.

There was a hay bale maze. Ethan was way into this maze. I think the first maze prepared him.

There was a cool fort and teepee that we spent time playing in.

We went on a hay ride to the pumpkins.

The boys had a blast trying to find the perfect pumpkin to take home.

We then got back on the hay wagon. It took us back to all the fun.

We spent some time in the hay jump. The boys loved playing in the hay.

We went on the big slide one more time, and then we played in the corn.

Before we left, the boys jumped in one of the moon bounces. What a great afternoon we had playing at the pumpkin patch.
