Pumpkin Patch

Every year our Sunday School has an annual Pumpkin Patch trip.  This year the morning started out rainy and dreary, but the kids still had a blast! We opted out of the corn maze and hay slide, but the kids had no idea and still had the best time.

The first activity at the farm was a petting zoo.  Our kids are not animal people, so they watched through the fence while the other other kids went inside to pet the sheep, pick up the baby goats and ride on the pony.  They were content to move on to other activities inside the barn.  

Charlotte loved the photo booth.  This lookout hole was the perfect height for her! 

The both absolutely loved the masks with the photo booth.  Maybe that will appear at a future birthday party!

Something I didn't even know they had was a corn pit.  It is basically a big sand box filled with corn kernels.  Most years after the petting zoo we load up for the hay ride, but it was fun to explore the other activities instead.  The kids spent at least an hour playing together in the corn pit. 

After a while some of the dads went in and started burying the kids in the corn.  Charlotte thought it was so funny to be buried. 

Trey had corn kernels all over his clothes for the rest of the day!

There was also a hay tunnel to crawl though and at the end you arrived at the corn pit.  Trey did this over and over again for a long time!

Here he is coming out into the corn pit from the tunnel. 

Charlotte and her friend Tucker enjoyed climbing up on the tractor.  It was pretty wet from all the rain so they couldn't sit on it. 

At the end of the morning the kids spotted these wooden horses.  They had horse races up and down the field while we loaded pumpkins in the car.  

When we arrived at the pumpkin patch we weren't sure if we were going to stay because of the yucky weather.  Luckily it cleared up some and there were plenty of fun things to do without going on the wet hay ride.  The kids had so much fun and as adults we got a chance to chat and catch up together while we watched them play.
