A REAL Pumpkin Patch!

For the last several years, we've become accustomed to the parking-lot-pile-of-pumpkin pumpkin patch.  So this year, I was so excited when I found out Lauren's pre-school had a field trip to the real-life pumpkin patch.  It was perfect.  Way out, on lots of land...the kids took a hayride out into the fields and then had a chance to pick their pumpkin.  The only rule was they had to be able to carry their pumpkin themselves!  Lauren searched and took her time...
and found the perfect pumpkin.

 The kids had a chance to play in the hay bale maze & mountain, learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin and then play in the corn box.  The corn box was definately the biggest hit.  Just like a sand box, it was a huge wooden box filled with dried corn.  The kids loved it!  This is Lauren mid-leap into the corn box.
 Abby was lucky enough to be able to tag along...doesn't she look excited!
The only sad thing was we didn't make it back as a family, so Jason and Emily will have to wait with baited breath until next year!
