Fall is officially here now that we've been to the pumpkin patch! This is our
fourth year at this pumpkin patch and I hope we continue for many years - it will be fun to watch the boys grow and change every year with a picture in front of this truck.
Karsten wanted to ride the tricycles which meant that Liam wanted to ride too.
On a roll!
Next we checked out the animals. Liam kept pointing at the pigs and laughing.
After the hay maze, Karsten climbed the hay mountain for a quick photo opp before other kids made it to the top.
Karsten loved this huge slide, but it was a really fast slide so he wanted us to catching him at the bottom so he wouldn't land on his bottom. On his last trip down, he tried putting his hands out to slow himself down like he had seen other kids do. I stuck my camera up the slide and caught this shocked expression on his face.
Grandma and Liam watching Karsten.
Swinging on the tire horses with Papa.
They had big drainage pipes on the ground that the kids could run through. Liam had a great time running and looking for someone peeking in at the end.
While Liam played in the tubes, Karsten took a tractor ride. I tried to put Liam in one of the cars but he was having none of it.
So he played on the slide and had Papa all to himself while Karsten was on the ride.
Just chillin'
Then it was back to the tubes - I think this would be his favorite thing about the pumpkin patch! This is obviously not Liam's best side; but it shows how much fun we all had watching his reaction as he ran to the end of the tube.
Having a great time!
So tall!
This is my least favorite part of the pumpkin patch. The boys can spend FOREVER playing trucks in the sand, and usually by this point, I'm ready to go on the hayride to pick our our pumpkin!
Howdy cowboy Karsten!
After a short hayride, we were ready to search for the perfect pumpkin.
This was the one for Liam - he tried so hard to pick it up because he saw Karsten pick one up.
Big decisions - which one to choose?
Excellent choice - that is a good looking pumpkin!
If only they had been looking at me, this would be my fav picture of the day.
After we picked our pumpkins, we loaded back onto the hayride to pay for our pumpkins and head home. Another year, another fun trip to the pumpkin patch!
