Pumpkin Patch!

We headed to the pumpkin patch and farm on Oct. 9th. We were all looking forward to visiting again after having such a good time last year. Once again, we were not disappointed! I must say, it was a little bit difficult to get into the spirit of fall when the temps broke a record high that day and was in the 90's!! We did our best though and had a ton of fun! On the way to see the animals, Kristen and Heather stopped to do the chicken dance!

Elvis, every one's favorite!
This year Randy was able to go with us too!!






Some of the goats crossing their bridge!


While the younger kids were looking at the animals, the big kids were allowed to check out the new attraction!! They call this the crop hopper and it is so much fun!! It is a cross between a trampoline and a bouncy house!! Look at Aaron's hair!!

Next was the cow train ride!




Off they go!


More jumping!

After lunch we had some free time to just play and hang out. Well, the mamas can have fun too! Stephanie and I decided the crop hopper looked like too much fun to miss out on so off we hopped!! This was so much fun but man....is it a workout!!

Ian had fun on the BIG slide!





Some of the group wanted to go through the corn maze. I chose to sit out due to the extremely hot temperature by the time we got to the corn maze. I sent my camera in though and these are the pics I had! Tyler and Ian.







We will be going back again next year for sure!!
