It's pumpkin patch time!

Two years ago, I published my second post ever on my blog was about our annual pumpkin patch visit. Then last year, we never made it to the pumpkin patch, and therefore ending our annual tradition. This year, I was determined to make sure we made it to the farm. So today we went. It was the first weekend they were open, which meant no crowds and beautiful weather.

We visited the animals:






Raced rubber ducks:

Climbed the hay bale pyramid:

Drank apple cider and hot chocolate:


Picked out pumpkins:




Cleaned our pumpkins:

Rode on the hayride:


Found our way through the corn maze:


Shot pumpkins with a sling shot:


Rode tractors (big and small):





Made cornmeal:


Checked out how tall we were:

And this years favorite activity? The cornpit:
Corbin buried himself-
Treng made Corn Angels-
Then both boys went swimming in the corn:
It was a perfect day!

Your pumpkin patch trip looks amazing! I am officially jealous! Matt and I aren't sure when we'll squeeze our trip in...I think we'll have to fight the crowds and have slim pumpkin pickings on October 30th!

I love the picture Corbin took of you and Mark. He's got talent!
