Pumpkin Patch






Saturday Aaron and I took the kids to a pumpkin patch that we drive past every day on the way to Aaron's work. The kids had a blast. I wish we would have planned to spend more time there. I really think we could have stayed all day and the kids would have been happy. 


They had a little petting zoo there with sheep, donkeys, a very large pig, a llama, and a wombat (mini kangaroo?) I think Ivan would have stayed at the petting zoo the whole time if we'd let him. He was really into feeding corn to the donkeys.


They had a hay bail maze and a hay bale pyramid. These were Lincoln's two favorite things. He wanted to climb to the very top and be high up in the sky. Aaron climbed up with the boys, and I stayed on the ground and chased Adelia through the maze. We all had fun.


She's so stinkin' cute, isn't she? She's not much of a baby anymore, I guess. And she's definitely a cheeser.


Ok, I guess I did climb to the top of the pyramid with the kids. I was so nervous the whole time that they were going to fall off and crack their heads open. Bales of hay aren't the most stable things on the planet. 


Adelia's favorite thing was the corn kernel sand box. Yup, instead of sand it was just a big box of corn. Cool. In the picture, Lincoln is making a corn angel. :)

The very last thing we did was wander into the patch and pick out our pumpkins. We have a rule with our kids that they can have any pumpkin they want as long as they can carry it out themselves.
