Allisha and Rich asked us to get together with them to head out to the pumpkin patch one pretty afternoon. We hadn't taken the kids to this particular patch before, so we were excited to see what it was like!
Skyler, Caitlyn, Dylan and Ethan measuring up! Carter wouldn't stay put long enough, so he didn't make it into this picture!
Next stop: the hay bale maze! The kids really had a lot of fun running around in the maze.

Ethan found Caitlyn!
Next up was the hay loft. This was by far the hit of the day. The kids loved playing in the hay and I'm still finding bits of it in my laundry!

I took a leap with Carter. I love how his eyes are closed. He had fun jumping, too!

Once we were able to pry the kids away from the hay we stopped at one of the mini playgrounds they have. Ethan was thrilled to find some tractors he could actually drive!

There was a place for pumpkin bowling and while we were playing a pumpkin split. Carter picked it up and started eating it! That kid will eat anything!

Hopping on the hay ride to head out to the corn maze
On our way to the maze Carter discovered all of the pumpkins nearby. He loved sitting on them and running around them.

Ethan in the corn...He looks pretty happy here, but he actually spent most of the maze worried that we "were lost". On top of that, we forgot our Ergo and Carter was a hot mess because he was tired. Poor Tristan was wrangling him the whole time trying to get him to fall asleep in his arms. Needless to say, the corn maze was not the favorite part of the day. Maybe next year!
When we got back we headed to the petting farm. The boys loved the kittens! In fact, after playing and petting the kittens they weren't really interested in any of the other animals.
I love how intently both boys are just staring at it!
Ethan holding one--his dream come true!
We stopped at another fun little playground they had and let the kids run around some more.

We had to stop by the hay loft one more time, too. The kids just loved it so much.

Carter loved EVERY pumpkin!

It was such a pretty afternoon and it was so nice to visit with friends while the kids played. The pumpkin patch is definitely on of our favorite October traditions!
