The Great Pumpkin

We made our first trek to the local Pumpkin patch on Saturday. This place is far more than a place to pick some pumpkins. There are activities and attractions galore for every age. The kids behaved perfectly, we had a picnic lunch and we were able to find the perfect pumpkins.

This is a little cow train they have for the smaller kids.


A small maze for the youngsters. Lexi cheated her way through the entire thing and in the process convinced a number of other innocent children to join in her devious ways.

Tractor tires make for great climbing and hiding.
Addie enjoyed the petting zoo.




Pumpkin sling shots.

This was a corn box. Rather than sand for the kids to dig in, they had filled it with corn.

Just in case you weren't sure where sheep go to church.


On the way to the pumpkin patch.

Addie picked hers pretty quickly.



The weather was chilly and windy for most of the day, but it was a great time. Lexi had a blast and the place was so kid friendly, she could easily do everything by herself. We will definitely be going again next year.

The girls look so big! Lexi looks like a little girl and losing her toddler ways. They grow up so fast.

Looks like a great place. Great find!

What started as a way to communicate with far away friends and family has become a place for this horse trainer/HR manager turned stay at home mom of 3 girls to hold on to a bit of her own identity.
