My sister-in-law had asked if we could get together and do something while her kids were on Fall Break. I wanted to take Josie to a pumpkin patch, and found a great website for one in Lebanon (where they live, about 40 minutes from us). So, we all went to the pumpkin patch together and had a great time! It was really warm today (I think the high was 85), so it wasn't exactly a "crisp, fall day", but we all had a lot of fun. The place we went to was called Lannom Farms. They had all kinds of activities for the kids. We started with our picnic lunch. Then we saw some animals (chickens, donkeys and a baby cow). There was a water pump station, a corn crib, a cow-milking station, corn maze, hay bale maze, trike track, hay hill, soybean maze, hayride, and other games. Josie had to be talked into the hayride, but admitted at the end that it wasn't so bad. She really liked the cow-milking station and playing on the slides. She helped me pick out two BIG pumpkins for us to carve, a pretty veined pumpkin, and her very own little pumpkin.
This is a lot of work!
Milking the cow
Corn!
Playin' in the corn crib (we actually found some of this in her clothes when we got home!)
Hay Bale Maze
That black tunnel is a slide that goes down the other side.
Swooshing out the bottom of the slide! It was really fast!!!
Their faces certainly portray their excitement. We did this "smaller" maze, while Mary Anne and Faith did the 3.5 acre corn maze that was supposed to take 45 minutes.
Grow little pumpkin, grow!
Slam dunk!
"Look Mommy, I'm walking on the hay!" (repeat 50 times)
