Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took the kids to Patches Pumpkins by Adel for our annual visit to a pumpkin patch. We tried a new one this year and were glad we did. It was s much fun!

Kade was amazed by everything he saw. He did a lot of this...

...and some more pointing
...and he pointed even more !

Camden loved the chickens. So much so, that at the end of the day when we asked her what her favorite part was, she said "the chickens!"

There was so much for the kids to do. Here they are in the straw maze. Camden was a little hesitant at first, but it didn't take her long to want to explore the maze.

There were bounce houses for the kids to jump in. Lucky for us it wasn't very busy there at all so the kids got plenty of time with the bounce house all to themselves.

I didn't think we were going to be able to get Camden out of there. She had so much fun jumping!

Of course we found some time for a few photo ops. My how they have changed since our last visit to the pumpkin patch!!

I asked Camden if she wanted to ride a horse. At first she said No. But after a little convincing, she decided she would go for a little ride. I thought she might get scared when the horse started walking, but she didn't. Then the horse let out a big whinny and I thought that might scare her, but she didn't flinch! After the first lap she said to me, "Mommy, maybe next year when I'm bigger I can just ride the horse by myself." Like it is clearly not cool to ride a horse with your Mom!

Our last acticity of the day was the hay rack ride to the pumpkin patch.

And then Kade got to ride around in the Wagon that you put the pumpkins in. He thought that was pretty fun!

Everyone got to pick a pumpkin. Kade needed a little help deciding on his. He wanted every pumpkin we came upon!

Camden seemed to go for the little ones. We did get some little ones, but we had to really encourage her to pick out a big one too.

What a fun day at the pumpkin patch!!
