It has been four years since we have been pumpkin hunting so this weekend we met up with several other families and spent the entire afternoon enjoying quality down time. The boys played king of the hay bails while Bek befriended the goats. Leave it to the girl to find fuzzy wuzzies in the middle of a pumpkin patch!
We extracted her from the goat pen and went on a very expensive wagon ride. Yikes! The kids were totally uninterested in the farmers conservation talk until he started handing out free eats. Kaleb ended up with a "triplet" soybean. You would have thought he won the lottery!
The corn maze was the best part in my book. When you entered you were given a card with a number cipher on the bottom. As you wandered, you can across signs that helped you decipher the secret message. The big kids paired off with friends but Nate adopted Daddy and off they went hand in hand. Totally sweet!
The pumpkin patch was... interesting. Exhausted from their adventure in the maze, many of the kids collapsed into wagons and relied on the goodwill of brothers to pull them. It was all good until it turned into a racing competition. The kids loved it (screams included) but I had visions of careening wagons and ER visits so this zookeeper killed the fun. After much hunting, the zoo found the perfect pumpkin. The perfect end to a perfect day. We will definately be going back next year!
