Pumpkin Patch Fun

Today Chris and I took Tanner to a local pumpkin patch. It was so fun!!!
The owners of the pumpkin patch were having their "Fall Festival" so we got to go on a hayride, stop at their petting zoo, go through a corn maze, play on their "fun" mountain and pick out our pumpkins in their pumpkin patch. It was quite the fun-filled afternoon.
The hayride was pulled by a tractor. Despite the loud noise from the tractor Tanner enjoyed himself on our hay ride.


Our first stop was the petting zoo. Chris took Tanner over to meet the ponies. He was a little shy about it.

Then completely unsure how he felt.

Then he was excited and he stayed on that pony for 10 minutes.

Then we went over to the "fun" mountain. Which I guess for kids it is pretty FUN. Its just a big pile of mulch and saw dust. Tanner had a blast trying to climb up the mountain and then just sitting and playing in it.

Yes- I was covered in mulch and sawdust.
Then we got back on our hay ride and went to play at the corn maze. If you can believe I've lived 23 years and never been in a corn maze.
Before we enter the maze.

We made a couple wrong turns but we made it. Tanner spent alot of time on Dad's shoulders. Otherwise we had to stop every two seconds so Tanner could play with the corn.




After that we got back on our hayride and went to the pumpkin patch.

He loves hangin' out with his Dad.

Tanner had a good time picking out his pumpkins. We got a bunch this year because they were pretty cheap. Then we pulled them back to the little country store to pay for them. Tanner got to ride with the pumpkins in the cart.

I took some in B&W for fun.




The fall colors are so pretty though.

"Thank you God for the awesome pumpkins" hahahaha. This kid is so enthusiastic!


We took one last family picture on the hay stacks and called it a day. We were pretty tired by that point anyway.


We had a lot of fun and I'm excited to carve our pumpkins and catch that fall fever. I'm so ready for it to cool off some more. I'm really looking forward to some fall weather and more fun activities.
