Pumpkin Patch Fun

We are so blessed to have a wonderful and free little pumpkin patch just outside of town, it is perfect for quick morning getaways and can entertain little ones for at least a couple of hours. And better yet they added more this year!

Our first trip out there we got to enjoy with my sister and her husband (truth is they wanted to borrow our son so they didn't feel silly going to the pumpkin patch:) but no worries he adores them). Here are some pictures from that day.

 Our take for the day. And yes the big tall pumpkin weighs almost as much as Andrew, 

but I just had to have it.

The next time that we went we were blessed to go with a friend of mine and her wonderful four kids. She has been such a blessing to me as our friendship grows and it is so much fun to watch our kids play together.

 My fiend's oldest boy taught him how to swim in the corn,

now he swims everywhere, especially in the bathtub.

 

Running through the hay bale "maze" - it was a simple U shape 

made for little kids, but still great fun. 

Lastly we got to join my other sister and her kids at a pumpkin patch near where we grew up while we were there helping with harvest. He could have stayed there all day too but it was very very chilly that day.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and adding in the fun of pumpkin patches makes it even better. Sadly our weather has taken a turn for the cold so our pumpkin patch trips may be done for the year.
