Pumpkin Patch

I know it is January, but I am trying to catch up on the blog and I know some grandmothers that would probably enjoy seeing some of these pictures that I never got posted. Back in October we took the kids to a pumpkin patch - well actually that is putting it lightly. It is more like a pumpkin amusement park as one of my friends called it. I actually used to take my pre-k kids there on field trips, so that was neat being able to take my own kids there. They have added a lot since the last time I had been. The weather was really nice, so that is why Maddie and Davis are in shorts in October. Kallie actually got a little sunburned on her face from this trip. Whoops! Yes, I just admitted this on the internet. Anyway, here are some pictures from our fun day!


Th sign as you come in. Davis fell asleep on the way there, so he is still waking up.


Playing with some stuff in the general store. Didn't get anything. The cost of admission was enough.

Matt and Davis on the hayride.

Maddie styling in her sunglasses on the hayride.
I carried Kallie around in the Snugli. Can't remember what Davis did to his head. Fell and hit it somehow before we went.
Looking for our pumpkins (everyone got to pick one out - it was included in our admission).

Photo shoot in the pumpking patch.
It was bright, so we gave them their shades. Kallie was a little over a month at the time.

Davis was tired of looking up at the sun - should have had them face another way I guess. Oh well.
Matt, Maddie and Davis in the haywagon before we headed back from picking out our pumpkin. You get to take a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and then back to the main part of the "farm".

This is a "hay jump". There were bales of hay and then just piles of hay in this building that you could jump on or jump off of the bales.

Really long slide. You slid down on burlap sacks. This was the kids' favorite thing by far! They went down many times.

Can you tell Davis had fun?

Maddie even got to go down by herself. I got a video of it, but you can't really see anything, you just hear her laughing. I'll post it later if I can find it.

We couldn't pass up riding the train. We rode on the caboose here since Pullen Park's train doesn't really have a caboose.

Kallie on her first train ride.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Yes - they are sticking their heads out of the train while it is moving.

This is a corn box. There is a ton of corn in this little gazebo type building with shovels, and buckets and all kinds of toys to use to play in it. Davis was a little hesitant at first, but you can tell he warmed up to it. He had a hard time walking around in it at first.

Maddie loved scooping the corn and dumping it in the bucket. She seemed more comfortable with this than she sometimes is with sand.

Matt went in and covered the kids in corn. Here is Maddie being buried. She doesn't mind it a bit!
Davis's turn!
And of course Daddy had to have a turn! Davis throwing the corn to cover up Daddy.
Maddie preferred the bucket.

A shot of the whole farm from the top of the slide.

Posing in front of a wagon of decorations. They really do love each other!
We had a fun filled day at the pumpkin patch! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
