Pumpkin Patch

As our annual tradition, we went to Waterman Farms Pumpkin Patch with mom and my grandparents. This year, Rob was even able to join us because he had off Columbus Day. The first thing the kids did as we walked in was to immediately crawl through the hay maze. Rob followed them in because Hailey was afraid but wanted to go. They managed to keep from getting too lost:


The rest of us waited at the end:

They climbed the hay pile next:

And all of us tried our hand at the corn maze:

Hailey really enjoyed standing (and jumping) off the hay:

And sometimes sliding off too:

And even just running around in it:

We got our pictures taken as animals:

We even convinced grandma, grandpa, and mom to get in on it:

The kids really wanted to ride the horses but they were not doing pony rides that day so we decided to feed the animals at the petting zoo instead:

I had to help Hailey a little so the animals didn't overwhelm her:

While I was doing that, the llama got a little too pushy with Hannah so I had to go comfort her and reasssure her that they wouldn't hurt her:

And she went back to feeding the animals happily:

We played a game or two to win some little stuffed fish (that I'm sure would have cost a nickel instead of the dollar we paid but the girls were so happy to have won) and then decided to go get our pumpkins. Here we are on the hay ride out:

Daddy being funny:

And we finally arrived. Hannah ran into the field to begin looking:

After a few minutes, we picked the perfect pumpkins:

So much fun, as always!
